Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Taurus X?
I love the styling of the interior and the space of the back two row of seating.
I like the entertainment systems and the fact that stowing the seats are so easy to do.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Taurus X?
I know that it is a 6 passenger vehicle but I was told it got 21 in town and 24 on the highway and so far I have gotten 17 in town and 22 on the highway.

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
Great car and has more room than any other suv. Great for parents who aren't quite ready for that minivan look and still want a stylish family car.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Taurus X?
Great performance.
Ride and interior configurations..
Very roomy..
Handles well for an AWD wagon..

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Taurus X?
The roof rack is a troubling feature as Ford does not sell cross bars, but, REI etc. does sell aftermarket accessories for it..

Road noise can get excessive at higher speeds but is fractional compared to others.

In extreme cold weather the floors are very cold and the windshield does not defrost well...

The wipers are a joke, both front and rear..

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
Overall it is a great vehicle... Has plenty of power, handles well and drives smoothly.. Ford has a few things to work out, but this car is very safe and I would put it up against any car in its class...

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Taurus X?
We have all the bells and whistles on the Limited AWD.
Great layout.
So versatile and very comfortable.
Sync is fantastic.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Taurus X?
The back half of the roof rack is worthless. They have no way of tyng anything down.
Also, instead of the hard plastic panels on the door, it would be better to have a little more leather.

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
All around great vehicle. Can't imagine why Ford walked away from this vehicle and replaced it with overpriced and ugly Edge and Flex (especially the Flex).

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Taurus X?
My Ford Taurus X Limited drives smoothly & has lots of room for both people & storage.
Plenty of power, fast pickup.
We loaded the car down with 4 adults, 2 children & attached a cargo carrier with 4 large plastic tubs. We traveled over 4,200 miles in less than 2 weeks with no problems.
Mine has the DVD player (great to keep the kids entertained on the long trip).

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Taurus X?
Gas mileage needs to be better. I'm getting about 21.5 mpg. was hoping for around 27 mpg.

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
This is a great family suv. I have all the luxury amenities (leather heated seats, DVD, Sync, dual a/c for the 3rd row seats, & back up sensors). Great driving for both short distances & long trips. Too bad Ford doesn't advertise this model. It's a lot cheaper than the Flex & has all the bells & whistles.

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
Want to find out what they are worried about. Get up to highway speed 45 or higher and roll down windows you will get very painful ear pressure and vertigo when you stop. They have been avoiding all my inquires. Please advise!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You also get a violent interior vibration.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Taurus X?
The layout of the interior is very good and a lot of attention was given to different seating configurations

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Taurus X?
The roof rack is comprised of two rails Ford does not sell or have any product that attachs to the rails to carry additional items such as skis or a carrier. Poor thinking.

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
Great all around car and I am very satisfied with it.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Taurus X?
Fuel economy for this 6 or 7 passenger vehicle is good. Lots of standard equipment and features. Great price. Outstanding safety ratings. Sleek styling. Good performance.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Taurus X?
Get rid of the two tone look on the base model. Ford should have some form of marketing/advertising for this vehicle. No one knows how good a value this car is. I have never seen any ad on TV or in print about this vehicle. Ford dropped the ball on this one.

2008 Ford Taurus X Review:
I wish everyone with a need for a 6 or 7 passenger vehicle was aware of this car. But there has been no effort by Ford to get the word out on this vehicle. They crowed about the reviews of the Fusion, by national consumer publications, but not a peep about the recommendations about the Taurus X. What is going on ? Are they trying to kill this car ? We love the Taurus X.
