You are in the Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
We have a 2010 Taurus SEL which we like very much. However, I wonder if anyone else has a negative opinion about the feel of the brake pedal: Mushy. Also, I notice that the rear wheels have more brake dust than the fronts. This reminds me of the situation with our Freestyle and wonder if we are going to have the same problems with the rear brakes.

| The latest Consumer Reports put a don't recommend on the Lincoln MKS which is made in the Taurus plant. I wonder if that is a bad omen? I know its platform is based on a Volvo and those cars seem to have declined in quality over the past decade. The Taurus is newer than the MKS so I hope they fixed whatever issues led to the CR knock because it seems like a nice car. | |

I purchased my SHO about a month ago. So far it's worked fine. I traded an '08 Sable. The Taurus has a much firmer suspension(SHO)It's much faster, with actually better mileage.You do need to use premium gas to get the "full" performance. The Sable did have better rear seat room, probably due to the higher roof line. The "Blis" warning system works fine, though I think if the light flashed it would get your attention better, especially in bright light. The Adaptive Cruise is great. It matches the car in front of you. Slows you down, then speeds you back up. There are 2 issues I've really seen. One is the headrests..They pretty much touch the back of your head. My partner didn't like it at first, but is now used to it. There have been complaints from some reviewers about it. Give yourself a little time. You get used to it pretty quick, it's really not that bad. The other is the lower seat back. I found it protruded somewhat into my lower back. Playing with the lumbar control seems to have cured that problem. I will say that after testing several cars.. I was down to the Pontiac G8 GXP,Cadillac CTS(premium) & the SHO. The CTS seats were without a doubt the most comfortable I ever sat in. I really like firm seats & these definately were "firm". The GXP had the performance I truely wanted. The Pontiac G8 GXP was my real choice, however I couldn't find any that weren't used as drag racers by "coked" out sales managers. Trust me I couldn't find any within 300 miles of me(New Hampshire)That had less than 5500K on them. It's true, the sales managers got them as their "own" demos & beat the crap out of them! If there had been any with low mileage(less than 500)The GXP would have been my final choice. I guess I could have done without all the "techno" goodies or the 25+ highway mph of the Taurus, but I think overall I made a damn good choice getting the SHO. It really gets compliments. People don't seem to know what it is!I guess there really ARE a lot of people out there who don't read auto magazines!
