General comments?
This beige 1997 Ford Taurus GL has been in my family since the start. Bought in 1997 by my grandparents, The car only has little dings and scrathes, but since they were terrible drivers, That's great condition. I got as a birthday present on my 16th birthday when my grandparents lost their licenses and I was happy. With beige velour interior and a large cabin, I was happy. Its not only stylish from the exterior, but from the interior also. With its easy-to-reach radio and climate controls, Driving was a since. Now that I'm 17 and having the car for a year, I can only say one thing,"WoW!"
It's great. The Front Wheel Drive and it's large size make its it real safe in the snow. The Summers great. All I can say is that it's a great reliable amazing first car!
