1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Terrific vehicle, well made in Chicago"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The worst thing that has happened was a blown radiator line.
General comments?
Just replaced original muffler, rest of exhaust in great shape, replaced gas tank at 300k and struts at 300k, they were original as well.
Finally getting a little rust, live in upstate New York, so lots of salt in winter.
Still handles well; will need new springs at 400k.
Original engine and transmission, no problems.
