Need Help Picking an AWD Sedan

John Paul, aka “the Car Doctor,’’ answers readers’ car-related questions.

Q. I am a 69-year-old woman trying to locate a used sedan, large or midsized, with AWD and regular turn-key ignition. I would also prefer to have comfortable adjustable driver seating with lumbar support and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel without overly complicated electronics.

A. I would start with a later model Ford Taurus; these cars are dependable, have a great all-wheel-drive system and should satisfy all of your requirements. As with any used car purchase, you should have the car fully inspected by a reputable repair shop.
