What does Edmunds.com Say?

”No longer a top contender in the midsize car segment, the Taurus is still a decent buy if a low initial price is more important to you than overall refinement and resale value.”

The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com

Pros
Low price, roomy interior, good crash test scores, available as a sedan or a wagon.

Cons
Low-grade interior materials, poor expected resale value, doesn't ride, handle or stop as well as top competitors.

Safety

In 40-mph frontal offset testing conducted by the IIHS, the Taurus has earned a "Good" rating and was named a "Best Pick" among family cars. The Taurus earned a perfect five-star rating in NHTSA frontal crash testing and three stars in side-impact tests. A new optional Safety/Security package bundles side airbags, antilock brakes and traction control into one group. Notably, only wagons are equipped with four-wheel disc brakes; all sedans have rear drums.
