Being a Taurus, it's a nice roomy vehicle. 2003 was before the redesign, so it's larger than the newer versions. Reliability has been less than stellar though raising its overall cost over time.

What I like about the car is that it isn't too flashy and it gets the job done. The problem with it is it has only roughly 20 miles to the gallon. The car also suffers from some electrical issues from time to time. Other than that, it has a good stereo and good air conditioning.
