Replying to: danallan (May 02, 2009 7:09 am) The CX-9 is a sportier version and it's a good CUV. The Acadia is bigger. I've parked my FS beside an Acadia and you can really tell the difference. I think what the FS/TaurusX/Flex have going for them is that they're really a cross between a car and SUV, while something like an Acadia or Veracruz are just to much SUV for me. Ford has done a better job compromising betweern car and SUV. One thing I wish for on the Freestyle/TaurusX and on the new Flex is better cargo space inside through redesigning the 2nd and 3rd row of seats. It's a flat and long cargo floor but not very tall. If they could design the 2nd row to fold forward and down several inches that would really help. When you fold the 3rd row, the 3rd row folded "platform" actually has to go up several inches to line up with the folded 2nd row, and there's a lot of wasted space under that platform. But that's just picky stuff. I paid $23K for my '05 Freestyle in Feb'05 with the Ford family plan, so that shows how great the deals are right now. It's good to wait, but anyone who wanted to buy and hasn't already has missed the boat on the best deals. |

May marked the fifth consecutive monthly increase in wholesale used vehicle prices on a mix, mileage, and seasonally adjusted basis. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index now stands at 109.1, which resulted in the first year-over-gain in pricing since October, 2007. Used TXs are way too much! The best values are in new cars, but not the TX. I give Ford credit, they are letting this car just fade away without a whimper and without huge incentives, well as least not yet. I am glad that I did not buy this car, not because it is a bad car, it is not, but because I need something that can pull a boat. Good Luck! |

We just bought a new 2008 SEL with convenience package, MSRP is $30,020. We paid $22,638.70. That includes $4500 in rebates, $500 for a trade in and tax. $3500 of the rebate is a Ford rebate and $1000 rebate is for trading in a Chrysler vehicle. This was at Medved Ford in Castle Rock, Colorado. Now there is only 16 new ones left in the state. The dealers in my area have one or two at the most on the lot, some have none at all. I've been waiting over a year for the right deal, it seemed if I was going to buy a new one, it's now or never. Ray |

I am in maryland and I have only been able to find one new Taurus X with a dealer. Does anyone know of a way to locate dealers or other new Taurus X's. I am looking for an awd and possibly limited but would be fine with SEL. thanks

I just got a quote on a taurus X eddie bauer awd for 28,500 + tax tags and freight. I counter offered for 28k otd and the guy seemed to get really upset and said no one can sell it at that price and the best he can sell that car for is $32,900 otd. Mind you it has an MSRP of 35k. what do you all think?? thanks |

Hi, Just got a 2008 TX Limited. Traded in an 07 Freestyle. Liked the FS so much we wanted to get a new TX before they were all gone. However, I had to get the chrome wheels and my wife just hates them. I have 300 miles on the car. Anyone interested in purchasing? Anyone have an idea where i can get the standard 18 inch painted wheels? Any help appreciated. |

what is everyone getting mpg wise on their taurus x awd. I am getting a pretty bad 13.5 mpg around town just running five minute errands back and forth. Is this common?

Replying to: joes11 (Oct 19, 2009 9:05 am) Five minute errands are the worst for gas usage. I find my mileage drops tremendously when the engine is cold. It almost pays to drive faster when you first start to get it warmer quicker (but no high RPMs when cold for longer life). Taking my kids to school and errands around town is the worst. Lots of idling, the engine is cold, lots of starts and stops. In a week at home doing nothing but kid shuttle I got under 15 MPG one week. So what you say makes sense. This type of driving is where Hybrids excel. In my work commute, which is 70% freeway, I get ~23 MPG average. Last week I started on the highway and had 27.1 MPG indicated after 40 miles. But then I hit the residential area, and with lights, stops, and starts, the average MPG quickly dropped down to my usual 23 MPG. On some occasions, like vacation trips when I'm just doing freeway and being very careful, I can get over 26 MPG, but that's rare.
