Transmission has a huge lack of power with ac on.
Transmission also is slow from shifting from park to reverse or drive.
The cars radio the seek button has to be pushed multiple times to switch from one station.
The car seems to to be comfortable and pretty reliable.
It has a smooth ride.
Speaking about transissons---The 2005 ford "500" Has a variable speed trans. -- similar to a snowmobile!!! Hope it works better than the split front axle on their pick ups years ago. Remember the light bulb add?---Ford got a better idea.
I have a 2004 Ford Taurus SES. I've had nothing, but problems since purchasing it new. The transmission has been replaced 3 times, the front end has had major repair work 4 different times, the moon roof has been repaired for leaks 4 times - as has the windshield. I've had serious mechanical problems with this car since I purchased it, the problems still continue!!
