2002 Ford Taurus SEL Wagon review from North America
"Great family car and a great deal!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I picked the car up from the dealer, it needed paint work, had cracked molding, and was dirty inside. The dealer fixed these without an issue.
Have had no problems since.
General comments?
Great Power with 200 HP engine.
Interior fit, finish and looks are very appealing.
Third row seat comes in handy.
Great features for a car of this price: traction control, 4 wheel disc brakes, automatic climate control, 6 CD changer, premium sound, perimeter lighting, aluminum wheels, leather interior, key-less entry, automatic head lights, auto dimming rear view mirror all for less than $20 after discount and rebates.
Has latch and tether for infant car seats.
Great safety rating.
Only dislikes: the driver foot rest is too close to the driver, the slope of the doors make entry/exit difficult, and the exterior looks are boring.
Overall a great value.
