Three adult room in the back seat - comfortably! see full Ford Taurus review |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Ford Taurus review |

Independently adjustable lumbar and cushion supports, individual front seat heaters, coolers and massagers for both the seat cushion and the back. Need I say more? see full Ford Taurus review |

The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review |

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review |

twin turbo is impressive for merging in fast traffic but so quiet you must look down to check speed see full Ford Taurus review |

What can I say? I have not even begun the test the power of this engine! And when I do I'm going to want a big straight piece of road to do it on! The engine is smooth, quiet and very responsive. You wouldn't know it is twin turbo, there is no lag. see full Ford Taurus review |

The six speed transmission is smooth and reliable. It is the best car I have ever driven in the mountains. The manual downshifting in hill country is the best I have ever seen. Smooth and I can hold most hills without using the brakes at all. Power is a plenty. More than I need but when you want it it is there. Smooth power and fast acceleration for interstate travels the Taurus is awesome. see full Ford Taurus review |

The performance is astounding. It is oddly quite with a small hum or whirling noise. Stepping on the throttle it will easily spin its front tires. see full Ford Taurus review |

Reviews rate 0-60 anywhere from 4.8 to 5.5 seconds. Speed, twin turbos, and 6 speed automatic work great together. Fun to pass that Mustang GT between lights. The standard AWD on higher end models allows the car to go in the snow with no problems. see full Ford Taurus review |
