1989 Ford Taurus SHO review from North America
"Best 0-60 mph under 7 seconds sedan to date!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car (used), I had to replace the CV-joints.
After I had the car for about 3 months, I had to replace the Y-Pipe.
About 5 months after that, I replaced the 2 exhaust pipes that went from the Catalytic Converters to the Y-Pipe.
Seat covers.
General comments?
This car is in my opinion the best domestic four door sports sedan you can buy!
Seats were worn when I purchased the car, but the comfort was still great!
It's a great car at the traffic light. Kids in Honda Civics look over and see a "Taurus" and think they will catch me off the line. Boy are they wrong.
The only con is that it is expensive to modify and maintain. If you have the resources and the will to go, get this Taurus! It will not disappoint you.
