2002 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"Well rounded and toughly built, except the tranny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust had dropped 8 inches.
Passenger front strut went bad.
Water reservoir tank busted.
General comments?
This car was used when I bought it. I had all of the things that were wrong with it either replaced or properly fixed, and I make sure I keep up the maintenance on it as needed. Nothing has gone wrong due to my negligence or while I've had it.
It holds the road really well at high speeds, and although it registers for speeds of 120mph, its fuel shuts off at 116mph and kicks back in at 115.
I love the car, I would definitely buy another if it blows up tonight.
