1990 Ford Taurus GL Wagon review from North America

"I don't regret buying this car for a minute. I love the heavy car feel and smooth acceleration"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The thermostat needed replaced when I bought it.

The heater motor quit working at 99000 miles (can't fault it for that!)

There is way too much rust on this car, as with all Taurus models of this year that I see.

Ford uses the same yellowing-prone plastic headlight lenses as all other American car manufacturers, resulting in almost opaque headlight lenses.

General comments?

I love the big American car feel that this car has. It's luxurious.

I love the smooth engine and quiet engine noise.

The transmission has gotten bad reviews, but I love the smooth shifting.

I have the 8-passenger model, and the third seat is really cool for kids.

I think the GL model should have lights on the vanity mirrors.

I love the brake feel. I think it is a very responsive feel.

The steering sucks-there is about 1-2" of play in the steering gearbox.
