1996 Ford Taurus review from North America
"Do not recommend, if you want to drive it into the ground"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas tank replaced around 92K.
Front strut/spring coil replaced, 70k.
Transmission leak, replaced pan, 99k.
Transmission clutch solenoid replaced, 70k.
This is where I stop fixing the car.

Transmission oil leak from one of the line, 105666.
Over heats, need to replace the gasket.
General comments?
Comfortable, engine is great, but too many other problems.
Typical American car, it will not less more than 10 years.
