2010 Ford Taurus: Safety Priority

Posted by: robert / Category: Car Market Place, Car News, Ford, Motoring

If you’re looking for a strong yet safe vehicle then look no further than the 2010 Ford Taurus. This car was just earned the illustrious five star rating for both driver and passenger side crash tests. It also just won the “Top Safety Pick” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

So what makes this car safer than the others?

The new Taurus features crash-avoidance technologies, such as a segment-first, radar-based forward collision warning system that helps drivers avoid accidents. The system, enabled by Adaptive Cruise Control, uses a radar sensor to detect moving vehicles ahead and provides a visual “heads-up” warning signal and an audible warning when slower-moving traffic is detected ahead.

Instead of the car reacting to accidents, it actually helps you avoid them in the first place. Now that’s what I call safety!

But what about when the accident does occur?

The new 2010 Taurus earned the five-star and “Top Safety Pick” ratings based in part on advanced features such as the Personal Safety System(TM) – a suite of protection technologies, including dual-stage front air bags and front-passenger weight classification, which work together to help protect occupants in moderate to severe crashes. The Ford-exclusive Safety Canopy® features side curtain air bags that help protect front and rear outboard passengers in both rollover and side-impact crashes.

It used to be that only the front driver and passenger had bags, now the Ford Taurus has them also at the sides and back passenger side.

The 2010 Ford Taurus should be on the list of anyone who wants to buy a car.
