1994 Ford Taurus SHO review from North America
"One of the only true high-performance sedans made in the USA"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump, sun-roof switch came loose (no big deal).
General comments?
The dealer wanted $7,000 for this car, I paid $3,800, and the car is in excellent shape, with 67,000 miles, what a bargain!
The car is very quick with the 5-speed, handles like a large beamer, and room enough for all my friends. I love it. The car was stored for 2 years however and needs new wires, and I "hear" they cost around $200.
I'm sure as time goes by the car will get expensive, but its a small sacrifice
considering how much I look forward to driving it everyday. If you love larger, American built cars, and demand high-performance, this is the way to go.
Skip the Mustang, these cars have unique personality. Don't get me wrong I like Mustangs, but every third or fourth car is a pony.
