2009 Ford Taurus
I purchased this car in 2010 when it had 34,000 miles. It now has 133,000 and looks like it will last to 200,000. It has a large trunk and I can tow my 15 food keel sailboat handily. The rear seat is spacious and comfortable, with its own A/C vent. It is a little noisier than I would like. Transmission noises and some road noise are noticeable. But not bad enough to motivate me to trade her, and listening to the radio without damaging my hearing with loud volume is important to me both around town and on road trips. It has comfortable and spacious seats with many adjustments, including lower back. It has required some repairs over the years (A/C compressor, steering assembly). But the expense was trivial compared with car payments. Mileage is only 18 around town and over 24 for highway driving. I like the traditional interior styling a lot. The exterior look--art deco--has grown on me.
