"We bought this car for the 3rd row and liked the look of it. The Taurus X has a lot of transmission problems starting to show up. At 90k ours went out. Never used a trailer or heavy cargo just lots of highway miles. New ford transmission is $4,300 plus install. Found a used one with install for 2k. Had back for service again and Transmission shop said they had 2 more since replacing ours. Buy the extended warrenty with Fords very limited warrenty you will spend big bucks on this car. The stearing pump is starting to go also. A mechanic says problems are known and he is already telling us what to look out for."

"We bought this car used since we needed a people mover and Ford didn't make them any longer. Too bad that Ford no longer makes them because it's really a great car. It's not loaded on room compared to today's mini vans and SUV's, but it is still quite comfortable and very easy to drive. It has great performance and handling and has proven to be very reliable so far. The only real negative would be the limited space for luggage and other stuff. We have the second row captain's chairs, so it only seats six, but that is actually better as it allows easier access to the third row."

"My wife wanted room for our kids plus their friends, but was tired of the suburban housewife minivan. After looking at much more expensive options, a friend turned us on to the Taurus X. My wife loves it. Lots of room for people, but no soccer mom stigma. Great compromise until our teens are off to college and she can move into a Mustang GT. Good power and handling. Very reliable so far (my buddy has had his for a couple years and still loves it). We are happy with our base level car, but they have list of options with more luxury. Here's an important point for this style of car-- unlike more expensive similar cars, this one has excellent visibility. Not so for other cars of this type. We are very happy."

"I checked out this car and its previous model: the Ford Freestyle. While test driving, I had to admit, the Taurus X is so much more powerful and offers a solid ride! Lots of space with easy flip seats. Third row stows away to make way for a seperate deck that folds away so it does not show any dirt etc when not in use. It stores as much as my minivan used to, however the foot space is a little less for really tall people. I like everything about this car."

"Bought a 2008 SEL model used for a very fair price, although I found these are hard to come by as they are very popular. I find the X to be one of the best I've owned and I've onwed them all. Extremely reliable with pretty good performance from the 3.5 V6. I would have decked out the interior over how Ford released the car/crossover. Could not find one with leather, but the cloth interior is extremely comfortable. The X is probably the best kept secret in the auto industry. I recommend the X to anyone."

"My family consists of three young boys, ages 6,5 and 3. After bambi all but destroyed our Chevy venture ext. minivan the wife and I had to find a replacement. I hate the looks of minivans but have gotten used to how easily parents can move kids and cargo with all the extra space. After looking at ugly minivan after ugly minivan I talked the wife into checking out a cross over. We started with the traverse. She loved it but realized it would only work for a family of five or more if it had bucket seats in the second row. Without the buckets I can only imagine the time being wasted folding and putting ahead the seat to get to the back seats. After looking and looking we finally found one with buckets, but we were not about to spend 25K on a used car. Later we decided to check out a ford lot we found no minni vans witch was fine with me but it did have some freestyles and X's. To be honest I had never herd of them but the nicest salesman I had ever met told us it would work perfect for our kid transporting needs. We were very impressed with the quiet power from the 3.5 v6, and the price tag was well below the 20K we were willing to spend on a two-year-old car with 28K miles. In the end the three boys made it a done deal when I saw how even the three year old could open the door, and there is even enough room for an adult to get in the third row without moving seats ahead. I am also very impressed with the amount of usable space in the X. I did not realize how long this car was until I parked it in the garage where the van used to park. Bumper to bumper there can't be more then a couple inches difference between the X and an extended minivan. So far it has worked out great for moving the young boys. I hope ford brings this back in the coming years I think it is a great alternative to the minivan."
