2002 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"Comfortable, reliable transportation that will take you where you want to go if properly maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the front sway bar links at 110K.
Replaced the rear brake shoes and drums at 115K.
Replaced the cam synchronizer and sensor at 120K.
Serviced transmission with new filter and fresh fluid.
Nothing has gone wrong with the car that doesn't go wrong on any other car.
General comments?
No major issues to date. All maintenance was kept up by the previous owner. Vehicle is very comfortable on trips and gets about 26mpg on the highway with three of us in the car and all of our luggage. Speaking of luggage, the trunk is very large and will accommodate almost anything you would need it for in day to day ownership. Engine and transmission are very tight and quiet. Rides nice and feels solid on the road.
