I still see so many on the road that are at least 20yrs old. Hoping the 2.7L is at least half as reliable as the 22RE engine. see full Toyota Tacoma review |

I have owned numerous Fords, Chevys, Nissans, and Toyotas. This was my 1st Toyo truck and it has been a shining example of the Toyota line. see full Toyota Tacoma review |

It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review |

I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review |
