What Our Members Are Saying about Ford Taurus Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Ford Taurus: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |
