I am getting a new company car and these are the "upgrades" if u are over 6'5"

These would be 2012 models

They seem pretty small still??

Anyone got one.

I'm 6'5" 270 lbs:0003

Those were my choices as well, Lawrence. A Taurus is a Taurus, been company car choices forever. The Ford Escape is very small, you need to drive it to understand. I chose the Rogue and actually it is a very good car. Had a Pacifica before and it is smaller, but drives great. Have the 4 wheel drive version. This is just my opinion.

Not ashamed to say I drive one.

a. its free

b. maintenance is free

c. gas free

d. very lucky to have this benefit, and get a new one every 2 years. Miss getting the Dodge Grand Caravans as a choice.

Nothing wrong with the Taurus. It's a good sized heavy sedan that will get around well in the winter if thats a factor for you. This taurus is a vast improvement over their previous models.

For a good sized man I think its a no brainer.

Hada 2009 Escape-jsut got a2012 Escape yesterday--you would be tight in an Escape. Great vehicle for the price -we loved ours. I also looked at a Chevy Equinox and a GMC Terrain--you would love both as they are bigger inside and out-neither woudl fit in my garage. Liked the GMC the best--gl

On the course!
I drive an Escape at work, and I think it's a piece of shit, as far as comfort goes. I'm guessing at your size.......comfort is a big deal.

One of my biggest bitches about this thing, is the way the door panel 'hacks' into my left leg. I like to spread the legs a little, and give the balls some breathing room. Not in this thing, brother.

the Ford Taurus is a great car and it is not small. Drove a brand new one as a rental last weekend and was extremely impressed with the luxury feel.

Taurus!!!

I own the Rogue and absolutely love it. I have had Niissans for the past 30 years and absolutely love them for durability and reliability.

Hope this helps.

Lots of bells and whistles too if they spring for the options. It's a very nice sedan. I've always owned high end German sedans but if buying new toady, the taurus would be my choice.
