2006 Ford Taurus - Pretty good car.

Overall I would say that its a nice car, it drives quite smoothly and comfortably and has decent power when you need it and it brakes quite well. It has a nice design that probably will never look out dated. After 300k miles it hasn't needed any expensive repairs, the only serious repair that it's needed was a new power steering pump which was less than $200 in total, though the power steering is quite loud now at steep steering angles. It has leather interior, comfy seats, and lots of leg room in the front and back, decent sized trunk for all of your storage and transportation needs.

Pros

It looks nice, it won't look outdated anytime soon. Leather interior, which is always a nice thing. It has decent power, when you need it to get up and go it will go. There's a lot of leg room which is nice when you are tall, I always take it for granted until I have to drive someone else's little midget car.

Cons

There's no AUX port so you're stuck with CD's or the radio for music. The gas mileage isn't great, the 3L engine is overkill for anything this car will ever be used for. No Bluetooth, so no smartphone connectivity, but that's not really expected in an older car. The turning radius could always be a little bit better. No full sized spare, just a little donut tire that's probably not safe to even drive on.

2000 Ford Taurus - Strong Start, Weak Finish

It started out as a family car. My mother purchased it when I was a teenager. It was a light smooth blue color and a nice gray interior that didn't stain and it did not show dirt. It was a trusty vehicle . Once I was in college out of state it was given to me as a gift. It started having small problems, easily fixed but over time more and more went wrong till it was hard to keep up with. Finally one day coming home from class, it burst into flames with a cracked head and was to be never driven again.

Story

had my first date in it!

Pros

Several years of reliable service. MOST repairs are very do-it-yourself which was nice and since it was a very common vehicle parts were easy to come by. It held up for several years of family use but for me as a college kid it wasn't the thing to run into the ground.

Cons

Over time it starts to degrade, and once it does its VERY rapid. If you have more than 2 major issues with this car I would find another one soon. It had far to large of an engine in it for me as a V 4 would of been sufficient in a small car like the Ford Taurus. The tires also seemed to wear out really fast on this vehicle as well and its oil was usually low by time of a scheduled change.
