2004 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"Great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires seriously lost their alignment at 24,000 miles, for no obvious reason.
General comments?
We purchased this car, from the dealership with 13,000 miles and have now placed almost an additional 13,000 miles on it. The SES has impressed me, with its overall performance and handling, along with its leg room as I am 6'6" and have always had to drive trucks to be comfortable.
The dealership has been great; they corrected my alignment problem even though the warranty was out on the front end. Overall my wife and I have really enjoyed this car and I most likely will replace my truck with a ford Taurus.
