I needed to upgrade to a larger vehicle after the birth of my first child so I started looking for a SUV because I didn't want any sliding doors. I wanted a larger vehicle but not a van. I am very happy with the Taurus X. I have the Limited version which has a lot of upgrades like a dvd player for the back seats with wireless headphones, bucket seats in the back, a navigation system, air plane AC vents in the middle row and back row, AWD and all the seats fold flat for extra cargo space. There is a lot of leg room and you don't feel cramped which makes road trips nice. This car had everything I wanted and I plan to keep it for a while. It drives very smooth, like a car and it is high so it's not hard to get into or out of, which really comes in handy when strapping little ones in car seats (no more climbing in the car to strap them in). The only thing is they are known to have transmission issues so I DEFINITELY recommend the extended warranty. My transmission went out 6 months after I bought it at about 88,000 miles but since I bought the extended warranty it was all covered except my deductible. I only bought the 125,000 mile warranty and I kinda wish I had bought the 150,000 mile one. Overall I love it.
The Taurus X is not a very flashy car but is solid, spacious, comfortable and reliable and offers an absolutely incredible value. Good power, reasonable fuel economy (I average about 20 mpg) and spacious passenger & cargo areas are big "pros". The only "cons" for me would be lack of tech features, quality of interior materials and resale value (it is a Ford...). I really have the urge to get another vehicle but it's very difficult to justify the difference in cost!
My new 2008 Ford Taurus Limited is my dream car! It is exactly the kind and color of car I wanted. My dream car! I wanted to wait until later in the year to buy another car. My husband found this car on your website and I knew it was exactly the one I wanted. So, I am glad I didn't wait! I really enjoy driving it and look forward to owning it for many years of good service.
