How good of a crossover is the 2008-09 Ford Taurus X?

I would like to get rid of my gas-guzzling 2005 Dodge Durango SLT (4.7L V8), and am considering the Taurus X. I realize that Ford is going to discontinue them after 2009, but they look classy to me, and, in my opinion, they look better than the new Flex.

  • It's a shame that they're discontinuing them, they're really nice cars, the main problem is a lack of marketing. Simply put, most people don't even know they exist (and the name Taurus X isn't exactly the best name they could've chosen).

Other Choices:

The slow-selling Chrysler Pacifica, which has been discontinued after this model year, has been the Taurus X's closest rival, though the Pacifica has slower acceleration and doesn't handle any better than the 2008 Ford Taurus X; it's also won top crash-test results across the board. At the back, the Taurus X's third row is roomier, with easier access. The Outlook is one of a group of new GM crossovers that includes the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia; it performs well and has a more refined ride than the Taurus X, though it feels smaller inside than the Pacifica and Taurus X, and its third row is tight. The same goes for the Honda Pilot, which is also rated well for safety and has a tight third row of seating. Some may find the Pilot's faux-rugged, boxy appearance alluring.
