1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"An amazing car that has given me flawless service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two years ago I had a leak in the power steering assembly. It cost me $300 to repair. I have had no other mechanical or electrical problems with this car.
General comments?
In ten years I have paid out only $300 in repair costs. All other costs were for maintenance, a battery, a break job and four new tires.
This car has served me exceptionally well and has held up far above any possible expectation. It has developed no noises and has lost no pick up. The mileage per gallon has dropped somewhat, but I have just changed plugs and wires and expect to see an increase in milage per gallon.
