2008 Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable

Expert Rating:

Considering it's actually an updated Ford Five Hundred – a car we weren't particularly fond of – we were surprised by how much we liked the 2008 Ford Taurus. Ford astutely fixed the things we didn't like about the Taurus's predecessor, updated a few other things along the way, and left the good stuff alone. With tons of room for passengers and cargo, fresh styling and a comfortable and quiet ride, the Ford Taurus and its Mercury Sable sibling deserve a look.
