 My 2006 Ford Taurus SE has road noise that is almost unbearable even with the windows up and the radio loud.  It does not handle well and often hesitates when taking off from a stopped position.  Today, I found that on the passenger side, it leaked terribly.  My floorboard had about 1/2 inch of water in it and I have no idea how that is happening.  The car is too large for my needs.  It does average 25 mpg though.  This is the only Ford I've ever owned.  I look forward to trading for a GM product or possibly a Honda, Nissan or Toyota.
