2001 Ford Taurus S.E.L. Duratec review from North America
"Lots of Car for the Money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults so far. All options still work well.
General comments?
This car rides beautifully. The 3.0 Duratec is much more responsive than the 3.0 Vulcan, and is much smoother! It is very difficult to sense the speed at which you are driving because outside and engine noise is very well shielded.
