1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"It's been the best car I ever purchased."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About 8 months after I bought the car, the rack and pinion steering failed. It was an expensive repair, about $1,200.
Other than that and normal wear and tear, it has performed flawlessly.
General comments?
I don't like the fact that the side view mirrors are fixed. They should be spring loaded to avoid damage when coming too close to an object.
The gas tank is too small.
