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.
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.
I've been wanting a Taurus X Limited. They seem to be the perfect blend of comfort, safety, power and reliability. I think 2009 is the last year for them, though. I should have bought a used '08 a couple months ago, because now they're harder to find and have jumped up about 3 grand in price.
Congratulations on yours and thanks for reviewing it. I will keep looking!
