1995 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Problems every month when the car hits around the 100,000 mile mark"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken Tensioner.
Broken Front Passenger Strut.
Broken Front Passenger Sway Bar.
Broken Tie Rods.
Broken Front Passenger Spindle.
Interior trunk button doesn't work.
Coolant keeps going low.
Muffler falling off.
Exhaust making loud embarrassing rattling.
Getting very rusty.
General comments?
I purchased this car used when it had about 93,000 miles on it, and it worked mostly alright until around the 100,000 mile mark. It now has 108,000 and it has gotten to the point where I'm having to drop money on it every month because stuff keeps going wrong. I can't keep up with this car, and neither can my bank account.
I just hate the feeling of driving around and being stressed because you know something it going to break, so I'm going to purchase a newer car (even though I can't afford it).
I will say that one good thing about it is that it handles really well.
