Cons: Disappointing rear-seat room; thick roof pillars and high door sills inhibit visibility and cause a closed-in feel[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: The 2016 Ford Taurus replaces its finicky MyFord Touch media control system with a new SYNC 3 interface that is said to be more user friendly. Overall, the Taurus is smooth, refined, and quite enjoyable to drive. We’ve been impressed with the standard V6 and the optional turbocharged 4-cylinder engines too. The 2016 Ford Taurus’ weakest link is disappointing rear-seat space. Overall it’s worth a look, but we think anyone looking at large sedans needs to shop the Chevrolet Impala and Toyota Avalon before making a decision.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
