To begin with the Taurus actually was and still is a good car. The Cavalier was never good. plus with the taurus being never and having lower mileage as well as being in a class above the cavalier makes it a far better, safer, more comfortable choice. I still wouldn't pay anything over 3000$ for it though. But I wouldn't pay a single red cent for the cavalier. The Taurus is a FAR better deal.

A more modern but still buzzy powerplant arrived in 2003. Interior pieces are flimsy and fit poorly, and seating is cramped and uncomfortable. Poor crash-test results are a concern. The Cobalt replaced the Cavalier for 2005. The 2.2-liter engine is spirited but noisy and relatively thirsty. The ride is steady, but the steering is too light at low speeds and handling isn't particularly agile. The supercharged SS model is quick and sporty. Crash-test scores are better, but the Cobalt still received a Poor rating in the IIHS side-crash test when tested without side air bags. In either sedan or wagon guise, the Taurus provided good handling and comfortable seats. The 200-hp V6 was a better choice than the 145-hp engine. A sporty SHO with a 235-hp V8 was available through 1999. The Taurus got a style freshening for 2000, when it also picked up such safety equipment as side air bags and adjust-able pedals. The Taurus has a firm ride and a roomy, comfortable, and quiet interior. Cornering is sound but not agile. On the downside, the turning circle is wide and braking is unimpressive. The Taurus was discontinued after the 2006 model year. The Cavalier is crude, noisy, cramped, and uncomfortable. A more modern but still buzzy powerplant arrived in 2003.
