Taurus – isn’t this on my "do not drive" list?
Posted by Ben on February 29th, 2008
OK – I hate the traditional Ford Taurus. So much that I added it to the cars I will not drive with Hertz. Someone told me the new ones are “comparable” to the new Ford Edge (fun to drive). That someone is mistaken. I will admit the “new” Taurus is a dramatic improvement from the traditional ones that resemble a sperm whale. I was kinda fun to drive. Reasonable pickup (not reasonalble to put it in the “fun to drive category”), cornered well and wasn’t terrible in the fuel consumption realm. Had the boyz and I had a desire to head into NYC this weekend we could have easily fit 6 into the thing. Once I am confident the old Taurus’s are out of service with the rental companies, perhaps I will remove it from my “do not drive” list.
