1988 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"The best older car on the road still"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced head gaskets at 150,102 miles.
Regular maintanance.It will pull us out of any trouble we can get into.
General comments?
The most comfortable car we have ever had.
Very dependable, especially for it's age and it's mileage.
3.8 v6 is powerful enough.
Easiest thing to work on, besides the old cars.
It has tons of trunk space.
This car looks very good.
One of the roomiest cars in the family.
