Real First Impressions Video: 2013 Ford Taurus SEL All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

Welcome back for another Real Auto Reports Real First Impressions Video! This time we take a quick look at the 2013 Ford Taurus SEL All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The SEL represents the mid-range of the full-size Taurus sedan, which means you will get a good set of options standard and the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine.

This is one of the few vehicles we have tested from Ford that doesn't have the EcoBoost twin-turbocharger and direct injection technology. With slightly less than 300-hp we take a look at the first impressions of the way this motor performs, especially when coupled to the AWD system.

At about $36,000 the 2013 Ford Taurus offers a lot more room than you might expect, especially in the trunk. The question is whether you will like the closed off interior design and the visibility challenges it can cause. And will you like the new interior features that match that of other Ford family vehicles we have tested.

Join us as we look at the Real First Impressions of the 2013 Ford Taurus SEL AWD including the features and experiences that really captured our attention right off the bat.
