[QUOTE="Dynobrat, post: 15111753, member: 164427"] I just bought a white, 2011 non PP with 59,000 miles (95,000 km) I traded in a 09 Town car that I only had a month haha and got this car. I drove a 5 hour trip on the highway and got 9L/100km average driving 70mph, which I think translates to 26mpg. It isn't as good on fuel as it should be, but it's still decent. I drove an old V8 Cadillac with twice the mileage and got about the same or even better fuel economy. As for the Taurus, the issues I have read about are the chrome peeling on the taillights, which you can replace with 2012 onward, or plasti-dip. Also, on my car, the bottom seat cushion is cracked all to dogshit in one straight line across (on the left side where the buttons are) from getting in and out of the vehicle. cost for the lower seat cushion in Canada is about $ 500.00. Also, the rear sunshade is known for breaking. You can and should be able to repair that yourself. Also, my suggestion to anyone would be to remove the intake, clean the valves, reinstall intake and add a catch can. The factory PCV setup is an epic fail with direct injection. Run premium fuel and Amsoil signature series. And of course, routinely change the PTU fluid. Also several posts about stuck open injectors causing problems. (so the take away there is if you are ever driving and your check engine light comes on or your have issues outside of normal running conditions, shut it off and have it towed, or risk severe damage, unlike standard engines where the check engine light appears and you don't worry too much haha) Also I have seen several posts with respect to their turbo inlet pipe breaking at the bend as well, either from heat or stress or both. It's a car you want to routinely inspect for leaks, no matter how slight. I like the car, I just picked mine up saturday at a great price. These cars are a real bargain used. I don't care about making BOV noise. Only wannabe racecar drivers who like to show off they have a "turbo" get off on that shit. (no offense) I'm looking for the black wheels with machined face now. I like those wheels a lot. [/QUOTE]
