1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Very good car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator replacement at 88,000 miles.
Nothing else besides regular maintenance, like brakes.
General comments?
I bought this car as my second car in 2002. I had heard from family members that the Ford Taurus were very good cars. I bought one, and I am extremely pleased.
I have the SE sedan with red on a tan leather interior. The interior is really high quality and roomy, and the seats are really comfortable.
I am pleased with my fuel mileage as well, about 24/30.
The ride comfort is decent in this car as well, it's not like a Cadillac, but it's pretty decent.
Reliability has never been much of an issue, I think the alternator failed a little too young, but oh well. It now has 123,000 miles and no other major issues so far.
In conclusion, this is a very good car.
