Ford Taurus
Full-size sedans aren't as popular as they once were, but Ford’s representative in this category stands out both for its sophisticated mechanics and modern silhouette—not to mention its roomy passenger cabin. It’s possible to order all-wheel drive, such as in the SHO whose 3.5-litre turbo V6 produces 365 horsepower. As for the base version’s engine, it’s a 240-horsepower, 2.0-litre EcoBoost four cylinder.
