Thinking of buying the 2017 Ford Taurus?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Ford Taurus; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2017 Ford Taurus? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The numbers in plain words
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 10.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 31 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $158.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 566 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the Taurus
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Taurus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
