A better car. Tricky. Better for what. It's (Taurus) certainly better for speed and pickup and smoothness, but my PT is lowered and 8 years old with half the power. The PT could hold twice as much cargo. The Taurus has a heck of a powerful/easy power steering and turns quick without any effort, you know about the PT. Maybe a newer PT would do better than mine.

Take the Sheriff's graphics off and it's a plain jane run of the mill type of car. The PT will always stand out as being different ,,,, I like that.

Not sure of the gas mileage of the Taurus, I don't pay for it or take notice.

To your original question....better MADE. Can't compare an 8 year old cruiser with 95,000 miles with a brand new (now 2,035 miles) Taurus. A new car will always win out, even still has the new car smell.

Both have their own good points.
