Ford Taurus
Last year, we got to witness the rebirth of the Ford Taurus. In replacing the Five Hundred sedan, it went up a notch, becoming a full-size sedan. Available in SEL and Limited versions, with front-wheel or all-wheel drives, this large sedan comfortably accommodates five adults. Behind its new grille is a 263 horsepower 3.5-litre V6 engine associated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It is also refreshing to note that it runs on regular gasoline.
