Notes: Bought this car to replace my aging Sable. You can see the Sable here:
http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/2823

This car drives exactly like my Sable. It is basically the same car, only newer with different aesthetics. It's hard to let go of my first car, but it was for the best. The Taurus is pretty luxurious since it's an SEL. It has electronic air temperature control, automatic headlights, keyless entry, power driver's seat, adjustable lumbar support, adjustable pedals, white-faced gauges, and a six CD changer. A step up from the Sable, but not quite the same character/personality.
