The 2013 Ford Taurus for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2013 Ford Taurus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2013 Ford Taurus before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 591 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, fuel/propulsion system and engine. NHTSA lists 9 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 9.3 L/100 km combined, it needs around 28 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $43.26 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Taurus
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
The Taurus in everyday use
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 566 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Taurus for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Taurus tells you more than any review. If the Taurus is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2013 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
