2010 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6

Love that the gas and brake pedel are adjustable so I don't have to sit on top of the strearing wheel to reach them even though I'm only 4'9". I love that the seat adjusts 9 differnent ways and I love the 3 different adjustable back supports in the seat. I love all of the feature of my car. It's been the first car that I've ever owned that truly is "fun" to drive. I'm definately surrounded by nother but pure creature comfort in this car. see full Ford Taurus review

Nissan included a DC fast charge, using the CHAdeMO protocol, on the SL model before this was a SAE standard. SAE has now standardized on another protocol now leaving this and all the LEAF owners with something they will probably never use. There are very few CHAdeMO charging stations in the US. see full Ford Taurus review
