The Ford Taurus throughout the Years: Simply Amazing

Author: juniorperrera | Posted: 19.04.2012

The Ford Taurus instantly became one of the hottest cars when it debuted in 1986. It was simply unlike any other Ford vehicle when it first came out. The front wheel drive midsized sedan was sleek, had no grill, and possessed a well-rounded form that was easy on the eyes. Passengers were met with a snug and roomy cabin and very competitive pricing.

Throughout the early to mid ‘90s, the Taurus remained a bestselling car in North America. However, a redesign in the mid ‘90s did not meet the expectations of the first generation Ford Taurus. At this time, Japanese automakers had already conquered the North American market, and in 2006, the Ford Taurus was all but buried. Yet just two years later, it came back to life better than ever.

The current Ford Taurus brings together the elements of a big luxury car and a family sedan. Despite the Taurus’s new design, it remains large and comfy inside just like a classic sedan should be. The base model is a front-wheel drive car with a 3.5 liter V6 engine that generates 263 horsepower. The higher trims are available in all-wheel drive and run on twin turbo 3.5 liter V6s that generate a monstrous 365 horsepower.

The Ford Taurus is available in four trims: the SE, SEL, Limited, and the SHO. All trims have auxiliary audio jacks, compact disc and MP3 players, six speaker stereo, tilting and telescoping steering wheels, powered driver seat, full power accessories, and alloy wheels. Higher trims include open wireless technology, leather seating, powered front passenger seat, rear parking sensors, dual zone climate control, a rearview camera, and bigger wheels.

The top trim SHO, available at Edmonton Ford dealers, boasts of special edition upholstery, xenon headlamps, sport tuned suspension, and a twin turbo charged engine. Other options are also available depending on the trim level. These include a first rate, twelve-speaker audio system, a navigation system, massaging front seats, adaptive cruise control, and an old-school sunroof which is perfect for Edmonton’s dry and humid continental climate.

Generally, the Ford Taurus, available at Edmonton Ford dealerships, is remarkable. The body construction is distinct, as is the same for the interior cabin which is just grand. The V6 engine offers V8 like thrusting, making anyone with a need for speed feel like he is in paradise. Passengers are sure to enjoy a smooth, solid, and rousing ride.

You can never go wrong with a classic vehicle like the Ford Taurus. For more on Ford vehicles and Edmonton Ford dealers, visit autos.aol.com.
