2006 Ford Taurus SE review from North America

Nothing yet...

First off, LOVE this site! So, I recently was forced into this car when I decided to trade in my expedition because of gas prices. I went to a bunch of different dealers and they all kept pointing me towards the taurus because they are so cheap right now because of being discontinued. I finally agreed to do the trade. Before this car, whom I refer to as Grandma because that's all I see driving them, I drove a VW new beetle. So its quite a change for me! I love the beetle, but I will say after having 3 of them (98, 01, and an 04) they do have quite a few problems. Anyways aside from Grandmas uglyness the car isn't that bad. The V6 is pretty strong and is right there when you need it, it's a very smooth freeway ride, and is very roomy. I just wish the car wasnt so bland inside and out! Theres just not one thing special or remotely cool about this car! In about 6 months I will have saved up enough money to get out of it and will be back in something a lot more age appropriate, maybe the new toyota yaris or tc, or mazda3, or maybe the new jetta if I'm still a vw lover! I will be staying away from domestic from now on cause they just don't hold their value! Any suggestions on a new car would be much appreciated! ~E.
