The 2008 Ford Taurus is back - performing and looking better than ever. With its updated interior, infusion of performance-enhancing components under the hood and its abundant technological upgrades, the Taurus is looking to make a dramatic return to reclaim the crown of the family sedan segment that it once donned so proudly back in the 80's and 90's. And, considering the attention that went into its new design, it just might have the muster to do it.
A 3.5 liter V6 sits under the hood, offering up 263 horsepower and 249 pounds-feet of torque and is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Though tuned for maximum fuel efficiency, the 2008 Ford Taurus manages to retain the pep and perk necessary to provide the acceleration needed when merging into traffic or entering a highway. The suspension is tuned to give a soft ride, though handling is still impressive. Additionally, the engine toils quietly, maintaining a silent cabin throughout any and all travels.
The cabin is handsome and dignified, built with high-quality materials and solidly put together. Legroom for both front and back are ample, and there are plenty of storage areas for the driver's and passengers' gear. The available and capable Synch System makes its appearance here, allowing impressively accurate, hands-free manipulation of blue tooth devices such as mp3 players and cell phones.
Front and side-curtain airbags are standard, as are antilock brakes. Stability Control, rear parking sensors and power-adjustable pedals are available. Crash testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration produced perfect scoring, making the 2008 Ford Taurus one of the safest cars on the road today.
Well-polished on the outside and inside, and a tad stylish to boot, the 2008 Ford Taurus is making big impressions in its segment. Stop into our Midway Ford Miami Dealership and see what all the fuss is about.
