1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Pretty good car with minimal problems, we'll miss it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel pump was an initial problem on the car. After about 8 years the rear springs/struts needed to be replaced. Otherwise regular maintenance protected the car from additional problems.
General comments?
The SE is fast. Exterior still shines like new. No exterior rust after 9 years. Air works great. Comfortable interior. Leather held up well. Never a problem with the electrical system. SE sound system worked well. Speakers mounted on doors at dash level make the sound crystal clear. Moonroof large and never leaked.
