Any opinions on new models?
Taurus has always been one of my least favored Ford models. I don't particularly care for the look of them even. A few years back, the Taurus was a popular choice in my area and I had a few friends who purchased or leased one. Every single one of my friends with a Taurus had major issues with mechanical problems and had high repair bills because of it. I'm just curious if newer models have improved?
You are right on the fast
You are right on the fast little cars bit some of them can really scoop and the only issue I had when driving once before is bad tires and it wasn't like it was the cars fault or anything but I think the model a friend had just never paid attention to the tires to repair them, I slide on a wet road going about 5mph almost into a pole.
I have always like the
I have always like the taurus, my parents have had few and there have been no major problems. I like the redesign version too. I think there fast little cars.
I dont think many liked it
I dont think many liked it but I can tell you my mother got her hands on a mid 90's model and it did run very well. How do I know this? She let teens drive it and it lived! ;)
I never liked the Taurus
I never liked the Taurus either. The redesign was butt ugly, and they were really unremarkable as a vehicle. I'd rather a Contour any day. I was thrilled to hear they'd done away with it and disgusted when they brought it back for name recognition. At least they put it on a different car, which seems a bit better than the original Taurus.
Still pretty bland to me
Maybe that's what it is – the design is just so blah. Nothing to distinguish it from all the other boxes on wheels. It sounds like newer models have less mechanical issues, from what everyone is saying, so that's a good thing, at least.
Not my favorite
The Taurus has never been my favorite looking car. I've never owned one but I've known a lot of people who have. My sister had one and she never had any major problems with it.

I've never been that crazy
I've never been that crazy about the Taurus either. It just always looked kinda „frumpy“ to me. My father inlaw had a 1992 and it was constantly giving him trouble. I've seen the 2008 models and I just really don't think they look much better.

I have a 2000 Taurus and I love it. It's easy to drive and the body looks good. I did get a look at the new Taurus's and I love the look of them.
