1989 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"It's old, it makes a great work car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I bought the car as a work car. It has problems such as the A/C doesn't work, and the transmission shifts hard from 2nd to 1st, and a oil leak from the front seal. But hey, the car is 17 years old and is still running and getting me to point A to point B.
General comments?
Quiet, comfortable smooth ride.
Good on gas.
Still running after 17 years with over 155000 miles on the engine and transmission.
Heck of a car for the $500.00 I paid for it.
