Reviews
"The 2009 Ford Taurus X is a good choice for families who want near-minivan functionality in an SUV-ish package."
— Edmunds: 2009 Ford Taurus X Review
"Taurus X is a solid crossover SUV, it's practical and it's affordable. The space, and use of space, is excellent. Loaded with navigation, satellite radio, and the DVD entertainment system, the Ford Taurus X is a really good long-distance traveler as well as an around-town family hauler."
— JB car pages: 2009 Ford Taurus X Review
"The oft-overlooked Taurus X earns our praise for being a pleasant and practical family wagon with class-competitive power and roomy accommodations for people and cargo. A crude-sounding engine and disappointing interior trim are our only major complaints. Like the idea of an SUV but don't want all the bulk? Your "crossover" may have just arrived."
