1999 Ford Taurus review from North America
"Loved my Taurus wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat belts in the back seat drove me crazy because they would work well one time, and not the next time. You can't get them to work consistent, no matter what we tried.
Air conditioning quit this summer, but had it repaired.
General comments?
This is the 2nd Taurus wagon I've had. I liked the first one, the ride is great when you do a lot of travelling for work or for trips to the cabin etc.
I put over 20,000 kilometers on my car each year, maybe closer to 25,000.
We haul a lot of things, and I like the room also; I often carry 5 passengers in the car so that is another plus.
Regular maintenance helped it stay in good shape, oil changes every 5-8,000 kilometers.
Put snow tires on in winter, so didn't have trouble getting round no slipping and sliding.
Like the way the driver seat can be adjusted with a small motor that enables me to get it just right.
