I'm an unrepentant car guy, but the good ol' Taurus has always held a place in my heart. It was a revolutionary car - you can make a good case that design of American cars can be divided into pre-Taurus and post-Taurus.
The engine in this one (3-liter Vulcan V6) is considered one of Ford's best designs. The Taurus owners' club lists quite a few of them with 300,000 miles or more.
Tonight wound up being a pretty good shakedown for this one, and I've found it has the same ... almost-problem as my Mustang - a fairly small fuel tank. Probably larger than the 12.5-gallon tank the Mustang has, but not by a whole lot, I think.
