Handling

For everyday commuting, a task the Taurus’s target audience may view as a car’s primary responsibility, this big Ford fits the bill with a soft ride and compliant suspension. This is a comfortable cruiser, one reminiscent of past oversized domestics.

With vague steering system, excessive body roll, grip-averse Pirelli P6 tires, Big Brother-like traction control, and fade-prone brakes, the ’08 Taurus proves less than capable on twisty roads, but that matters little since buyers of this particular sedan are more apt to find themselves enjoying daily commutes than tearing up canyons.
