1988 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"A cheap, waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car, it had a small power steering leak. I fixed it, no problem, but then one morning I went out to the car,started it (and this was three weeks after I got the car) and it died with smoke coming out from under the hood. It hasn't started since!
General comments?
Never buy one of these cars.
They make the Pinto look almost good!
