Expert Rating

Unavailable

Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

Overview

The big news about Taurus this year is that there are fewer versions of them. The base G and the GL sedans and the GL and LX wagons have been dropped from the lineup. An SE sedan and wagon have been added and the LX sedan and the high performance SHO are still there, although the LX has dropped from the top of the line to the bottom. The idea, Ford says, is to make things simpler for everyone. Fewer models and the elimination of Ford's previously dizzying array of options packages mean less confusion in the showroom and less manufacturing cost. We think this is a better idea.
