Description

When it was new, reviewers liked the 2011 Ford Taurus for its stylish design, long list of standard features and smooth ride. The Taurus also gets pretty good fuel economy for the class. In terms of handling, reviewers found that the Taurus was fairly balanced, but some thought that the steering lacked feel. The base Taurus comes with a 3.5-liter V6 and front-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive is available for extra assurance during harsh weather. Test drivers compared higher trim levels with luxury sedans, thanks to the Taurus appealing interior design and quality materials. In terms of seating, auto critics were especially impressed with the available multi-contour front seats, which change shape to increase comfort. The Taurus has plenty of standard features, which include cloth seats, a power driver seat, a six-speaker CD stereo with an auxiliary input jack and steering wheel audio controls. Available features include Fords Sync infotainment system, a Sony stereo, satellite radio, leather seats and a rearview camera. In addition, reviewers said trunk space and rear-seat legroom are ample inside the Taurus.
