1994 Ford Taurus LX Station Wagon review from North America
"Apply a little TLC and you'll love this car forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned this car for about 2 years, I have had very few problems with it. I took a road trip from NH to PA and upon return needed a new water pump. I did the work myself and the new pump was only 40$.
The wipers work good, but must be manually pushed down the last 3 inches or so after you're done with them.
General comments?
The transmissions are poor in that too much heat will cook them rapidly, invest in a 40$ transmission cooler and not only will you save about 1000$+ in rebuild costs, but your ride will dramatically improve.
I believe stock tires are 205/65/15, replacing these with 215/65/15 give even better performance in ride and handling with little hit on the fuel economy.
