1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Overall a good buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The one real problem with this car has been the front brake rotors. They have been turned/replaced 8 times. This is ridiculous.
No other problems with the car.
General comments?
Car is generally a great car to drive. The 200 Horsepower engine really moves. Car is quiet and comfortable. The engine sings quite loudly when accelerating, but, I suppose it is designed that way. The car has plenty of room and is a real joy to drive when, the brakes are not wobbling to stop.
