1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Very nice car but get the 3.8 engine if you can"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Large bang on drivers side front wheel, occurs mainly on uneven roads, dealership unable to diagnose for 1 year.
General comments?
Nice car but 3.0 engine makes your heart race a bit when trying to merge into highway traffic with large trucks. Dealerships (3 so far) are completely incompetent and do not know how to do anything except change the oil.
