1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"A good overall value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve cover gasket needed replacement at 65K miles.
Oxygen Sensor needed replacement at 55K miles.
General comments?
Car is a family sedan and handles like one. However, it does offer good overall performance. Great for long distance rides. Four adults ride nicely in this car and the trunk is roomy enough for 3 large overnight bags.
