1994 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Oldie but goody"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearing replaced in September.
Serpentine belt replaced in October.
Muffler replaced in December.
General comments?
This car could have been a great car. It's a solid, generic drive, which is great for most people. It gets reasonable fuel economy for an old car with a good-sized engine (about 22mpg mixed). It's comfortable and quiet and rides decently.
It COULD have been fantastic if I weren't always worried about what was going to break next on it.
Overall, a decent enough car for being the same age as a brontosaurus.
