A big car that performs like a cat, even in bad road conditions. This is a luxury car with all the gadgets anyone would want... Great stereo, sunroof, extremely quiet, heated and extremely comfortable multi-positional seats and incredible handling -all at a very modest price relative to the competition. Mileage is surprisingly good for a relatively heavy, and powerful car and averages about 10L/100km in the City and 7-8L/100km on the highway (for me). There is a good reason why the Taurus is the car of choice for most police departments in Canada at the present time - very reliable, safe and solid. The huge trunk holds an incredible amount of anything, making the car a good alternative to SUVs.

The only thing that I've had to get used to is the restricted visibility from the rather thick front and rear roof struts and it is important to look twice before you enter an intersection. There have been complaints with glare from the video dashboard display but I've not found this to be a major irritant.
