1987 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"The car that saved the American auto industry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car first experienced problems at 14575 when the fuel pump went out. Absolutely nothing else happened till 67549 when the A/C compressor died. It never worked right after I had it replaced. Soon, after 95000 miles the car literally began to fall apart. Transmission once, water pump numerous times, and not to mention three alternators. However, I really liked this car and would definitely drive one again.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable, affordable, and nice looking. In the ten years I owned the vehicle I never once got tired of driving it. I still miss it to this day. My only wish is that it had the 3.0L V6 instead of the four banger. However, it was the eighties and everything had a four cylinder.
