Ford Taurus Owner Ratings & Reviews
Write a Review
2002 Ford Taurus - It's been a good car.
I had been a "Chevy man" all my life, but I needed a car and got a good deal on this one so I bought it. I have been pretty happy with it. It has excellent gas mileage, handles well in the city and country, and always starts even on the coldest of mornings. It does have a tendency to rattle, but I think that's more of the fault of a rather inept mechanic at Car-X who didn't tighten things when they put in our struts.
Story
I have many fun stories, but the first one that comes to mind is giving a elderly neighbor lady a ride to her pharmacy, and she really thought she was traveling in a real souped up, fancy car. She kept going on about how smooth the ride was, how it must be nice to afford a new car, and here it was almost 12 years old at the time. She told everyone she got a ride in a race car!
Pros
It's very roomy for a smaller sedan. I am part of the car pool at work and every Wednesday I take 5 other people besides me. Two in the front (Me and a passenger) and four in the back. It seems to be quite a bit more comfortable for the four in the back than it is the other cars in the car pool. The factory radio, CD player and speakers work very nicely. The speakers sound much better than the ones that have come with my previous Chevy.
Cons
The heater and air conditioner take a very long time to heat or cool, and the window defroster is not as quick as I would like either. Sometimes, for no reason, the lights in the dashboard will go off for a few seconds. I have asked mechanics about this and they can't seem to figure out the problem. The head and tail lights are a pain to replace.
2002 Ford Taurus - It's been a great car
I would absolutely recommend the Ford Taurus for anyone looking for a sporty, low maintenance car.
I like the sleek, sporty look, and the lighter interior makes it cooler inside in the summer. I really like the way things are laid out on the dash. Speedometer, fuel and temperature gauges are easy to check at a glance without having to take your eyes off the road for more than a second.
I do most of the easier maintenance (changing oil, adding break fluid, etc) but the only thing it's been in the shop for in the 6 years I've owned it was for a battery replacement, tire change, and annual tune ups.
Pros
Good Gas mileage (22 MPG city/28 MPG country)
Nice sleek look
Roomy
Fairly large trunk
Comfortable seats
Excellent A/C and heater
Above average stereo/radio
Cons
Small blind spot directly behind driver side
Seat adjuster on passenger side broke quite easily
Windshield takes longer to defrost than I'd like

2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac - Charles Gabus Ford Des Moines
Charles Gabus Ford is a great dealership. They are well-respected dealership in the Des Monies and they make customer service a point of emphasis. They made an effort to build a relationship. I felt comfortable throughout the car buying process. They answered every question I had and did not pressure me. I never felt like I was being misled or that they were hiding. Next time I am searching for a vehicle Charles Gabus Ford will be my first stop.
2002 Ford Focus - Car Hop Auto Sales & Finance
The lifetime warranty and the carhop service. The car it self is horrible. But every issue I had the dealership helped with.
