When a model breaks into the automotive scene and remains in the spotlight, you know it's good. That's how we at Dale Jarrett Ford feel about the Ford Taurus. Specifically, we'd like to highlight the full-size sedan's 2008 model year. Marked with a top rating by J.D. Powers and Associates, the '08 Taurus is grabbing attention today for long-term reliability.

Shown by a series of scores by Taurus drivers after three years of use, the global information firm has found the model to be dependable across the full spectrum of powertrain, features, accessories, body and interior. Coinciding with these high ratings, the 2008 variant grabbed a few minutes of fame atop the Forbes "Best Used Cars For The Money" list.

But considering the Taurus in particular comes with a powerful 263-hp V-6 married to a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, we aren't surprised that it's the vehicle to receive notable veneration.
