1995 Ford Taurus SHO review from North America
"Probably the best-performing family sedan I've ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some problems with leaking anti-freeze in both this one and the one I owned before. Dealer fixed it both times.
Wipers stick occasionally.
General comments?
To put it simply, this car thinks it's a sports car.
It accelerates quick, brakes well, and handles nearly as nimbly as some of the higher-performance cars I've had the privilege of test-driving.
I'm a very large person and it's nice to have a car that accomodates my size well and still performs as admirably as it does. Large trunk for a mid-size.
My only problem with this car is it is not terribly fuel efficient, maybe 18 mpg? But it makes up for it.
