![]() ![]() The standard 3.5-liter V6 now has bigger stones as well, ringing up at 290 hp (+27). Under the hood, a new 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-four is available in the non-SHO Taurus, and the powertrain is estimated to achieve up to 31 miles per gallon on the highway.

Evan, who is only 23, and finance guru Keith have renewed my faith that customer service still exists.2013 Ford Taurus SHO – Click above for high-res image galleryįord Taurus may only be two years old, but the Blue Oval folks haven't wasted any time enhancing its design, powertrains and levels of content. Overall, I cannot say enough about this surprising experience. Understanding I was not local, I emailed pictures of the trade in car, filled out the online credit app, and Evan and Keith in finance went to work to put a deal together that I was happy with- within 24 hours I drove my new car home. Evan, the best car salesman I have ever had, and I'm 70, called, listened to MY wants and needs and suggested the perfect vehicle. Researching online, many dealers emailed/called. My prior car was approaching the warranty expiration mileage, so I began to look to decide what to do. So unless the dealer offered me way more than its book value, i just can't imagine parting with it.ġ5 out of 10 stars!!! I thought the pandemic robbed us of customer service UNTIL this week & my experience with Rusty Drewing Chevrolet. but i hate to give up this Taurus X as its been such a fantastic car for reliability and practical car. I was considering trading up to one of the new Lincoln crossovers as they look really nice and i like luxuriousness of the Lincoln. Everything on the car has held up super well, while its always garage kept, its still a fairly old car now and it looks and drives like a brand new car. But thats the only fault i can find in the car after close to 12 years of ownership. I wished they would make it so the rear glass could be opened independently of the entire rear tailgate. Most Ford wagons/suv/cuv's are like that. so if your at home depot and buy long 2 by 4's or something that may stick out the back, you will have to leave the entire tailgate open. the only thing i don't like is the rear tailgate glass cannot be opened seperately from the tailgate. but it does look more expensive than what it is and has plenty enough power to pass and merge onto fast moving traffic on the freeway. but getting back to the driving of it, its comfortable and easy to drive. but thats the fad these days to make CUV's or what i call, tall station wagons. i rather it not be any higher than a sedan. Its slightly higher off the ground than a traditional station wagon. I've never even needed to change the battery yet. And its been all over the country from Miami beach and back and forth to California from florida and a trip to Utah. While it has low mileage for its age, (37,000 miles), its still almost 12 years old now, and i was just thinking, its never needed a single repair in the entire time i have had it. then, since i had other cars and needed a car whenever i visit my sister in Florida, I shipped it to Los Angeles and drove it to ft lauderdale, where it sits in my sisters garage for me to use when i visit her. I had it shipped to Hawaii and drove it there to work and normal use for four years. the thing is, i was not really needing a new car. ![]() So i bought a brand new SEL trim level for about $26,000, which was about $5,000 less than MSRP. i live in Hawaii and didn't need a car, but saw this car on lot and they had a military discount which i could not get in Hawaii, where i live. I bought this car in Guam while on work assignment there.
