2003 Ford Taurus SES Sport review from North America
"This is an awesome vehicle!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Anti theft system was not allowing the car to start.
Tie rod ends replaced following a knocking sounds in the front end, and ower oil pan gasket leaked; both at 43K miles.
Right front CV boot leaking grease all over the right front rotor and brake pads at 20,400 miles.
General comments?
I love my Taurus SES Sport.
The 200 HP Duratec V6 has plenty of get up, but also is not a gas hog.
This is a sporty Taurus with the floor shifter, black and silver two tone seats, blacked out grille and nice alloys.
This is a perfect sized vehicle. There's plenty of room both front and back, and it's a great car for road trips. This 6 footer feels very comfortable driving it on long trips.
