2001 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"Quick, stylish family sedan that never lets me down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken rear spring, rusted through. Pending recall on this problem. Also, occasionally have to tap the dash to get gauges to light up at night. Other than that, no problems in almost 30,000 miles of ownership.
General comments?
I love this car. I used to be a Chevy guy, but after numerous Chevy's failing me time and time again, I decided to try a Ford and do not regret it. I am not sure of the misfortunes others on these review boards have had with the late model Taurus because this has been by far the best vehicle I have owned to date. I have owned Honda's, Chevy's, Pontiac's, Toyota's etc and would never trade my Taurus for any of them. I love the sunroof, leather seats, stylish yet simple interior, and the overall build quality of this car just seems superior.
