2015 Ford Taurus - Review and Road Test

[@FrozenDonut13]

Anyone else watching this in 2023 and are a full-sized sedan fan??

[@cg741graf5]

I have a 2010 at 133,000 miles and drove from Chicago to NY. Incredible gas mileage, road comfy, and space for 4 adults and luggage. Easy to get new parts and body design still looks great. Now we are looking for a 2018 SHO to add. Handing the 2010 down to our daughter. 🌟 great value, style, and reliability.

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

Did you ever have to get the water pump replaced?

[@Sirgreen57]

Have had my 2015 Taurus for a while now, and it is by far the best riding car I've ever driven, SUV and crossovers not included.

[@Kevin-zx4lt]

I bought my 2014 Taurus Limited bc of this review and then recently traded it for a 2017 Taurus Limited with a bunch more options. I love this car. I literally can't stop looking at it in my driveway.

[@yunior12]

Finally a Taurus that is easy on the eyes...

[@dreamsteal4773]

Not Me red exterior is not easy on the eyes lmao 😂

[@animeXL]

Micah is fantastic, I love the humor he brings to the video. Plus his delivery is spot on, clear and very easy to follow.

[@davva360]

I love my 2016 Limited. Comfortable, quiet, smooth, plenty of power and loaded with features.

[@kbb]

That's great! Glad you love your Ford!

[@schwenda3727]

Kelley Blue Book long term reliability record for the older ones within this gen please; kinda curious since, last I checked, this car is among THE cheapest priced cars in its class... Same would probably apply to more of fords lineup if it wasn't for used VWs from just a few years ago, but idk... had an impala that lasted me a pretty good while, so you probably can already tell where my stance is on this...

[@starview1]

Just drove a rented Taurus limited from Los Angeles to Chicago to Houston Got 29mpg and the car was fine. Had the Nav system in it too and that worked fine, the thing I like about this car is that it seats the driver up higher than say a Camry, its more like an SUV but a sedan of course, I like the trunk space too. I'm not a fan of SUV's.(personal choice) The car had the 288 hp engine 6cyl. and had more than enough power on the highway. Car had 20 inch rims. Really like it, handled fine on the turns through the Phoenix and such freeways.

[@leavingasap843]

Couldn't agree more

[@DiecastFreak]

This is my personal favorite for the full sizers. Good looks, huge trunk, luxo interior. Job done. And done well.

[@45barber1]

That review makes me want this car more and more

[@leavingasap843]

I bought a used 14 limited plus, it's soooooo good I adore this car, great to drive so many features

[@dreamsteal4773]

Ma Ss same, mine has a black exterior, bought it when it had 54k miles (used).

[@FrozenDonut13]

This review is making me want one too. I also wish that large cars were more popular too. After Toyota disconnected the Avalon I'm hopeless that large cars will make a comeback.

[@bettyknowles5983]

I love my 2013 limited ford Taurus . If I have ever have that chance to park next to a Toyota Camry I will take it . it just pumps me up. The streets are not flooded with Ford Taurus cars ,but that's ok. I have had my fair share of people out there when asked what type of car do you think I am driving ? they just looked confused . I am tell them its an American car and I will buy another one . It kills me how anyone could have any complaints about the Taurus .I am 6-2 250 lbs . If you think a Camry is more comfortable than my ford I will sell you my skate board and tell you its made by Toyota

OOver the years we have owned four Taurus's a 90 a 2000 a2004, which was hit by a semi, and present 2008 Limited AWD, Bought it for the sedan with AWD, live where we have four months of winter and the AWD is fantastic. All cars have been excellant cars with 100,000 miles on all but the 08. 84,000 and NO problems with any of them..great family car and yes we are older and love the leather and AWD great handling car and great on the hiway as well as around our small town..also have owned four Ford rangers goin back to when they first came out.an 88 botttom of the line 4 cylinder 5 speed went 185,000 miles with ony timing belt and tires.used for a commute present is the 01 4.V6 5 sp auto my retirement present to my self 48,000 no problems...all good vehicles...have NEVER owned a foreign vehicle and NEVER will..

[@PhantomSturm]

100k? Haha, buy a Camry and enter the world of 4-500k easy ownership.

[@PhantomSturm]

Lolol, it isn't the early 1980s anymore. I figured if I posted on several of your threads you'd reveal yourself to be a nationalistic twat. Normally I'd not think anything of somebody who wanted to buy American cars only. Whatever, that's your prerogative. However, 90% of your posts are xenophobic bile so now you get to deal with the backlash. Oh, and weren't you going on about how the Camry was an American car because it is built here on another thread?

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Phantom FM We are retired and do not drive that much and the Taurus serves us quite nicely, really appreciate the ALL WHEEL DRIVE in a full size sedan, we have had snow and Ice for a full month now and looking towards at least two more months.My Bro in law has a Camry and I would NOT have that piece up my ass !! nothing special but cheap cheap transportation !!!!

[@DarrenPersad]

What an ignoramus. The mid-size Camry already beats the "full-size" Taurus in interior legroom. Headroom is admittedly lesser, but it is still mid-size after all. Quality is definitely higher on the current and previous generation Camry than any Taurus, but go back just a few generations and Toyota had some serious cost cutting going on. The Camry is objectively a more reliable vehicle because everything is tried and true, and resale is phenomenal. But why are we talking Camry? The Taurus competes with the Avalon, which absolutely obliterates the Taurus on all fronts, except AWD. If AWD is a must-have, then yes, the Taurus is one of the few vehicles that offers it in the class. I hate to break this to you as well, but Toyota builds more vehicles, owns more factories, and employs more people in the USA than Ford does, and Toyota contributes more to our economy, despite being Japanese-based, than Ford today. The Avalon, Impala, and Taurus are part of a dying breed of full-size non-luxury vehicles, and the Avalon is the objectively best overall vehicle in the class.

[@leavingasap843]

@@PhantomSturm yeah like anyone does that at all, what a stupid comment

[@rockandroll4689]

the Toyota, Chevy and Chrysler were NO competition - the Taurus is the best looking, most dependable and most beautiful. Wish it was still made. Absolutely ADORE mine!

[@shovelheadedmonster]

The 288 hp V6 is the same engine in the police Explorer and Taurus my dad was a cop and he said they never had trouble with those engines

[@Toutvids]

I had my 2015 2.0L for a few years, zero problems. I really enjoyed that car but it was a front wheel drive and we have winter. Put nearly 50k miles on it before trading it in. I now own a 2022 Kia Stinger 2.5L, which is tighter fit in the cabin but very comfy and it has a bigger trunk space due to the hatch. The Stinger is way more fun to drive and AWD instead of front wheel, which helps greatly in winter.

[@georgehuerta1990]

I have one of these in the limited addition and I really enjoy the car it drives really well I love the trunk it’s got plenty of options and it’s definitely better looking Taurus than the previous years

[@davidd3746]

lol they blame the Bluetooth on the new taurus but thats an iphone(apple) closed source being inputed into SYNC(Microsoft) open source. so its the device itself causing problems. i use an android 0 issues.

[@barryraymond9004]

+david decastro I have an iphone and a 2013 Taurus SHO with the latest sync update. It supports one touch access to SIRI and I have had 0 problems with loosing the bluetooth stream. I find the Sync system on the SHO to be better than any other system I have used, especially Chrysler Uconnect garbage.

[@westlipha]

Like your reviews. Short, sweet yet very detailed.

[@mikehoard7033]

Traded my 2011 Lincoln mkZ in for a 2016 Taurus and couldn't be happier. Bigger car with alot more tech. Everyone loves the ruby red color. Only complaints I have is the raised back seats fill like your in theater seating which makes it hard for any back passengers to see out the front window and the garage door button isn't standard like most cars.

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

I have a 2017 Taurus limited and LOVE this car. I’ve gotten a new car every few years just because I’m a whore for new cars. But this one? I’m gonna keep it until it doesnt run anymore

[@nexorabolis]

[@saadhusain1]

I have had a Taurus Limited and it was quite good at first but repair cost are very high: 80k miles: Failure in Electrica; Steering while at highway speeds. Luckily so accident or injury but $3000 in repairs. 110k miles: Water Pump failure. $2000 and 3 weeks in repair cost 120k miles: Fuel Pump failure. Failed on a long distance trip. Unknown repair cost.

[@dreamsteal4773]

Saad Husain I’m doubting what you said is correct.

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

DreamSteal why is that

[@dreamsteal4773]

Ghost227 my 2014 Taurus Limited has 103k miles and I haven’t had any major maintenance (the OP has had major maintenance and I think he has the older gen). And I put my car through hell. Get the newer gen, 2010-present but I suggest getting the 2013-present one because of the upgraded exterior.

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

I just bought a 2006 mercury montego and i love it. Its this cars older cousin but ibcan tell the architecture is largely the same. My car is extremely roomy and an amzingly comfortable ride with a slightly larger trunk than this taurus. Its a joy to ride in the back seat of my montego. Love ford

[@leavingasap843]

Best car I have owned, '14 Limited Plus with everything. The car drives like a luxury Lincoln. I have 60k mi. its been incredibly reliable and comes with so much more advanced tech than, Charger/Impala it was a no brainer when cross shopping. About interior feeling tight, that's BS go test one you will easily want this over any other full sizer out there.

you know the shape of the grill is the same as sho. you can buy a sho grill unsnap the old one and put in the sho grill for better look without spending the extra money on a car with over heating trouble. the turbos over heat. i hear a lot of them do and people on craigs list sell them because of it. they go out of the f150's to. someone said it took $12.000 for him to fix his and only had 34'000 miles on it. so yeah i would rather go with the sel anyday. besides if you put a cool air intake and a smart ship in the sel it will up the torqu by about 10-15 and HP around 60-70. it will give it 3-5 mpg better if you drive it normal but worse then normal if you floor it but with better acceleration. also save up for sho wheels if you want them. boom. it won't be as fast but it will be 0-60 in about 5.9 to 6.1 witch is better then 6.7 to 6.9 yet it will still use less game then the sho witch is 0-60 in 5.1 sec

[@kman-mi7su]

Full sized! What a joke! I drive one for work and spend more than 40 hours a week in one. Don't buy one of these! Ford needs to go back to the drawing board, the car is junk. Poor visibility, badly designed ergonomics, very cramped interior, and despite what they say difficult to get in and out of with that sloped roofline.(I'm 5"10) Also add the bluetooth phone issues which mine had and currently has again (it has stopped working completely now) and cheap cheessy looking interior. No wonder it has a crappy resale value and you don't see many on the road. Just one man's opinion who has a lot of time in one. Save your money and purchase a Toyota a better choice and better quality and design likely.

[@michaeljordan9879]

+Kenneth Pittman Well I've spent two years in one and I still look forward to every drive. I had to face a 500 mile road trip. I was SO glad I didn't rent a car. My Taurus was spectacular in comfort, for quiet and keeping us entertained. . Bluetooth problems? Ha! I had three devices linked to the MyTouch. Cramped? Yeah, if you're a lard ass only a front seat like a couch will do so that rules out a lot of cars. .It's not just one man's opinion, it's the opinion of everybody I've ever taken anywhere in it.

[@kman-mi7su]

For your info I'm not a lard ass, and the fact that you do not see many of these pieces of junk on the road and that Ford has now decided to discontinue this car due to poor sales, Well I guess I was right. MORE THAN ONE MAN'S OPINION APPARENTLY.

[@michaeljordan9879]

+Kenneth Pittman just because you don't see a lot of them on the street doesn't mean they're junk. I see a lot of Nissan Altimas but I know from experience I wouldn't want to take a long road trip in one. and for your information the Taurus has not been discontinued. it will be redesigned. But I can see you're emotional distraught over it so I'll leave you alone

[@kman-mi7su]

Hhaha! yeah right! redesigned, discontinued whatever you want to say its gone because it was junk! Nobody bought them and that's a tell tale sign.

[@martindennis5116]

I think nobody buys them because they aren't advertised well. I haven't seen a Taurus commercial in years. Every skeptic whose ever ridden in it has been impressed. I kid you not. Within five minutes of riding with me for the first time in it will say "THIS is a Taurus?" You don't find Sony audio, cooled massaging leather seats and ambient lighting in what you call a piece of junk. 65,000 on it and still a highway cruiser as smooth and quiet as the day I drove it off the lot. Is it popular? Will I see one every ten minutes like I do Altimas and Hondas? No, but when I'm on a long road trip and I notice none of my passengers are aching to get out and stretch, when I haven't had to do anything but tend to routine maintenance, mean-spirited uninformed opinions don't matter.

POS .. FORD

[@mikea3830]

Undeniably the bigest POS I have ever had to drive. This car is for little people. Trying to get your head in the door and sit down results in a concusssion every time. The seats have no support and are tiny; as in some oneone wearing a size o dress , 4-10", an weighing 90 lbs is the ideal minded owner. It is a large car on the exterior, but tiny on the interior; much like a 2 + 2 or VW Jetta. It is all engin and trunck. The interior cabin comes in 3rd in terms of space and comfort.Walking aournd the outside, one can immediately see the subpar sheetmtetal work going at Ford these days; horriblae seam alignmnent and drafty windows. Lets talk reliability... a wtaer pump at 2 1/2 years old with 65,000 miles resultedin an $1,800 repair job; yep you haev to pul the motor to egt to the water pump. A german must have designed the motor. The ride is great if you like riding on a s 2X4 board with no shocks. Paralisys develops over long period of times. Pluses includes only the Sync whih is very nice. However...mid $30S just to have Sync...wl I think not.Stay away from this one with you hard earned cash. 90% of the cars out there are superior to this trach mobile.
