Important safety improvements once found only on luxury vehicles, have worked their way down to Ford’s popular mid-sized family sedans. The Taurus, for example, has standard "thinking" seat belts and airbags that come in two parts to protect head and shoulders and upper torso separately. They can detect whether a driver has buckled the belt and prevent the airbag from deploying in fender-bender accidents, or cause it to deploy more slowly in high-speed impacts. Furthermore, the car’s sides have been reinforced to prevent intrusion into the interior, and the Taurus’ armrests have been redesigned to crumple, protecting passengers from possibly severe internal injuries in a side impact. Optional adjustable pedals, needed by short-statured drivers to avoid airbag injury, are also a worthwhile safety feature. Test-drive a vehicle with the extensions, though, before ordering the option.
Con: Reliability: There have been an inordinate number of reliability complaints recorded by government and private consumer protection agencies. The airport limo toronto is in its final year, so don’t expect many corrective improvements.
