I'm a resident of Dubai, and I was looking for a comfortable and practical car — especially now that my kids are growing up and the old car just isn't enough anymore. I was torn between a few models; I tried the Passat and the Accord — both had their advantages — but when I came back and test-drove the Ford Taurus, I immediately felt the difference, especially in sound insulation and highway stability. The car has a 2.0T engine, and the torque is impressive — especially on the highway, where you really feel confident and relaxed. The features are excellent: ventilated and heated seats, a screen with voice commands, radar, adaptive cruise control, and even semi-autonomous driving. The rear space is great, and the comfort level is better than many cars in the same price range. Plus, with the BO sound system and good insulation, the cabin feels upscale and quiet.
I haven't faced any real issues so far, but you do need to get used to the fuel consumption — especially if you're mainly driving in the city. I drive it daily, and the average fuel consumption is about 9 liters per 100 km, which I find reasonable. If you're looking for a comfortable, somewhat luxurious car that's enjoyable to drive, the Taurus is an excellent option. Even if it's not a very common choice, it definitely gives you the feeling of being unique.
