2008 Taurus Limited - The Bull Came Back 2008 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Jeb The 3.5L DOHC V6 can put on speed with surprising verve and it sounds pretty good doing it. The transmission shifts nicely enough although occasionally there's some low speed clunk. But it's geared well for highway mileage and downshifts when you want. |

2011 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member6148 3.5 is good on gas, responsive, but a little noisy if you don.t have the radio on |

The love affair begins: 2011 Taurus SHO 2011 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member5813 Faithful Participant 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!<br /> The engine is smooth, quiet and very responsive. You wouldn't know it is twin turbo,... |

2011 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member4996 The six speed transmission is smooth and reliable.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> |

Great little car for around town driving. 2012 Nissan LEAF Pros and Cons Member2992 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. Comparison vehicle: 2010 Ford Taurus |

2008 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member5292 The car has plenty of power. We have no problem with the family and all our luggage for a week getting over mountains. The car does not struggle to maintain speed. It has no problem passing. The engine is very quiet and smooth. |

2002 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member5208 DOHC 24V V6 is reliable, low maintenance, and with adequate power for my SE wagon. |

2008 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member3273 It goes when you step on the gas peddle. |

Update, year 8 2010 Ford Taurus Love Letter Member2992 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. |

2011 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member4840 AWD. 6 speed trans 3.5 lit. v-6 |
|
2011 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member4840 twin turbo is impressive for merging in fast traffic but so quiet you must look down to check speed |

2008 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member4593 Have been experiencing a clunk or hard shift from 1st-2nd. |
|
2001 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member4490 3-liter engine with only 155hp. Heck, early 90s BMW had 150hp from 2 liters displacement. When on the two way road or on the highway, one should plan any passing maneuvers well in advance. |

2010 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member4506 It has pickup to keep me interested in it, its not just all show no go. |

2010 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons A member in Delaware, United States Performance + for a 4-door sedan |
|
2005 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States The Vulcan V6 is an underestimated engine. It has relatively low power at 155hp, but a surprising amount of torque (especially at low revs) for great pulling strength. For example, this same engine has been a workhorse in the Ranger pickup for 2 decades. |

2006 Ford Taurus Pros and Cons Member922 The Vulcan engine is underpowered. Transmission is below average as far as smoothness. |
