Interior noise is one area where we see a need for improvement. While you won’t go deaf from all the clatter inside the new Taurus, you and your passengers will definitely notice some wind noise at highway speeds and the unrefined engine note at higher revs. The droning sound of the V-6 reminds one that this is a mainstream Ford and not a Lincoln or other premium/luxury model. At about $33,000 loaded, shoppers shouldn’t necessarily expect the Taurus to be tomb quiet, but calling for a bit more refinement and sound deadening material would be well within reason.
