Used Ford Taurus for Sale in Richmond, KY

This is not my first Ford Taurus and it will not be my last! Every aspect of this vehicle fits not only my needs but also my wants in an every day driver vehicle. I have already driven this vehicle over 140,000 miles and have experienced no significant mechanical problems besides routine maintenance. The interior of the vehicle is of the highest quality and the leather has withstood the test of not only children, but also dogs, pigs and chickens in transit! I have hauled numerous items in my Taurus and have used it as a pseudo truck. The trunk pass through is a must have. I have hauled everything from lawnmowers and weedeaters to banquet tables and full size cornhole boards. The ride is exceptionally smooth and quiet even after years on the road. The backseat is as comfortable as the front seat and no one ever complains about having to be the backseat rider. For a vehicle of its size, I am very pleased with the fuel economy which generally averages around 18 mpg in town and up to 25 mpg on the highway. I have test driven several vehicles that I thought were must haves and I just keep going back to the Ford Taurus!

The 2005 Ford Taurus does exactly what you would expect it to. It drives, and it definitely is a car. This vehicle was designed for fleet purchasers, and if you rented a car sometime between 2005 and 2010 you've been in one of these. It doesn't accelerate particularly quickly, the suspension isn't very tight, the brakes aren't super fast, and the steering isn't super responsive. In fact, the driving experience could easily be described as "spongy". The caveat to all of this, though, is that is also neither unpleasant or bad. There's a stately gentility to driving this car--it's straight out of the family sedans and station wagons if a bygone age--and it's actually rather comfortable. Interestingly, like cars from that bygone age, the Taurus has some features like a bench front seat (with a seatbelt in the middle!), a column shifter, a tape deck so you can listen to some of those eighties favorites, and length! This thing is like driving a yacht! Most importantly, this car seems to be essentially reliable--it is good at its essential function of getting up to six people and their stuff to wherever they need to go. So if you've got a family and the whole minivan/SUV culture just isn't your thing, then maybe you should consider this car.
