2007 Ford Taurus X Limited AWD review from North America
"Highly recommended - high level of safety protection"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was some minor paint delamination on the driver and passenger exterior door moldings. The dealer replaced the parts promptly under warranty.
No other issues during the first 20,000 kilometers.
General comments?
This 2008 car is Ford's best kept secret. The car is quiet, very safe, very comfortable and drives very well, especially in snow.
The seating is flexible and my wife prefers this vehicle much more than a minivan.
The quality of fit and finish is high and the controls are well laid out. Ford have hit a home run with this car.
Our previous car was a Ford Freestyle Limited, which unfortunately was rear ended and totaled on the highway. The five of us all walked away unhurt. We were sold on Ford's safety claims.
The new Taurus X is very similar in terms of safety and protection with a few more refinements. I highly recommend this car for those looking for a safe family car with great performance.
