1987 Ford Taurus MT5 review from North America
"A reliable rare gem!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The entire brake system had to be replaced.
I had to get a new muffler.
Had to install a new clutch kit.
One of the seat to floor mounts broke and had to be welded.
General comments?
Very rare car.
Came stock with a 5-speed transmission.
Yes I've had to put a lot of work into it, but after 22 years of wear you have to expect it to need some new parts.
Overall a great car, starts every time I turn the key, and never leaves me stranded.
