1996 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Misleadingly nice and luxurious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Soon after I got this car, coolant started pouring out of the bottom.
The Serpentine belt broke
The battery needed to be replaced
The interior dome light needs to be tapped to go on.
The turn signal is periodically malfunctioning
The front passenger door doesn't close all the way.
General comments?
I think that this is a really nice car. it is very comfortable.
However there are the problems that keep me from wanting another one.
I think my next car will be a Honda or Toyota.
