2005 Ford Taurus

Pros: It is really good on gas.

Cons: Sometimes, it's not big enough for my family.

Review: It took me a year to find my Ford Taurus.  After taking the car for a test drive, I was totally impressed with the way the car handle on the road.  I love my ...

Pros: Consistency, Pricing, Comfort

Cons: No Longer Ford's Flagship Sedan

The Bottom Line: A vehicle for a growing family, that will provide years of reliable transportation.

Review: The Ford Taurus has been a true icon in American cars, as it has been around since the 1980's. For many years it was the bestselling vehicle in the United States, which was no easy feat. The Taurus has always faced heavy competition from Japanese ...

Pros: affordable price, reliability, roomy, traditional look inside and out.

Cons: noisy motor at idle, sloppy shifting at low speed, depreciated faster than most cars

The Bottom Line: A good, roomy, reliable car for a bargain price, but beware of fast depreciation

Review: In March of 2006, I traded in my 2002 F-150 and bought a slightly used 2005 Ford Taurus. The reason for this change came on the heels of my wife and I learning that we were expecting our first child in October. We needed a good family sedan for a good ...

Pros: good ride, roomy, decent gas mileage

Cons: bad design causes water to get in and short out blower motor

The Bottom Line: It's an ok car, but I'm sure you can do better for the money, it feels cheap and is too fussy for any climate where it rains

Review: I wouldn't have picked a Ford Taurus if I hadn't needed a car immediately. I wish I would have waited since it seems that this model year doesn't like moisture at all. First I'll start with the good, it drives nice. It's smooth and brakes well. There ...

Pros: Comfortable on long trips, understated but handsome styling, can be had for cheap.

Cons: Underpowered, questionable build quality, quick to depreciate.

The Bottom Line: This car might be considered average if you didn't look at the offerings from Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. All three have better warranties, reliability, more power, and lower weight.

Review: I received my 2005 Ford Taurus brand new with one mile on it. I am a sales rep for a large corporation, and myself and thousands of others receive a new Ford Taurus either every 3 years, or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. My previous company car ...

Pros: Roomy with decent sized trunk.

Cons: Soft ride, not well powered, and boring interior.

The Bottom Line: I am sure you can do better with a choice of a Japanese car over the Ford sedans. Ford might build quality, but do they have good engineering?

Review: I rented a 2005 Ford Taurus during a trip to Las Vegas in August 2005, and drove it on the highway about 200 miles each way. This is the second Ford product I have rented in recent years, not by choice mind you, but because that is what the rental ...

Pros: nothing to mention here

Cons: bad transmissions

Review: I have NEVER in my life driven a car where the transmissions only make it to 78.800 miles. My son had a Ford taurus and lost his transmission around the same mileage as well. Ford must be living up the the old name "fix or repair daily" Never again ...
