1992 Ford Taurus LX luxury loaded review from North America
"Lots of pickup power - I love this!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
The temperature gauge is acting funny. I have never seen something like that before. It picks up when the engine is warm and then it drops, picks up again, and so on... I never know how hot is the engine!
General comments?
I bought the car on an auction, really cheaply after I had promised myself I will never buy an American car! (I read a LOT of bad things about them on this site). Well, I gave it a shot, after I saw the car had leather seats, CD player, both power seats, power sunroof, just EVERYTHING you can imagine. I have never seen a Taurus like this!
It drives great, the engine is very quiet! The premium sound system is great, especially with the CD player.
V6 3.8 engine gives a LOT OF PICKUP from the stop and I love that. I can squill my tires even though it is an automatic. Racing from stop lights is fun now, I can beat almost anything until 40 mph.
So far, always started fine on me. I am grateful.
