1996 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"A nice car to drive, but aggravating otherwise"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My check engine light is constantly on. I've had it put through on the computer multiple times and nothing comes up, but its presence is still aggravating.
There are 4 oxygen sensors that need replacing every so often, but the check engine light still doesn't go off.
The radio setup is nice, yet very inconvenient to replace with a new plate for a CD player.
The car is noisy under the hood.
Somehow the inside of my doors have separated from the metal part of the door.
General comments?
On the outside, this is a very nice car.
However, the check engine light being on is very aggravating and often embarrassing when friends are in the car.
The car handles well and drives very nicely at all speeds.
Spacious trunk.
