2000 Ford Taurus SEL review from North America
"I love my Ford Taurus and I will buy another maybe next year"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had 2 sets of brakes in the 175,000 miles. I've also replaced the tires numerous times. Had a full tune-up at 100,000 miles and replaced the struts at around 130,000 miles. All my repairs have been normal mainenance items to keep the car running. Oil changes were performs every 3000-5000 miles. And with 175,000 there have been lots of those...
General comments?
This car handles wonderfully.
The car rides like a dream.
The leather interior is wearing pretty good considering that it's not garage kept and is over 7 years old.
The defroster I will say though is horrible I've always complained. It won't clear the ice from the windshield and will not melt the ice from the wipers and causes it to build up and makes seeing very difficult.
