2004 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Parts fit together well, and interior surfaces are of high quality. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy.
Materials and Workmanship of the Ford Taurus: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 The interior is below average in quality.
2004 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Everything felt cheap, and the vinyls felt slimey. Poor fit and finish overall.
2000 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Some parts, like the glove compartment, feel flimsy. Cupholders and center armrest do too. Seats feel comfortable though, and the fabric is tough. But door panels for example look kinda cheap.
