1989 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Live New. Drive Old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car leaks oil, and the gas meter does not work, all of which can be fixed!
A/C does not work. This happens to most cars, though.
Squeakiness in the back; could be something in the cab or the old suspension.
Lots of wear on everything. But then again, this IS an old car.
General comments?
Regardless of the age, this car still handles very well, and you forget how old this car is!
A great mid-sized car. Easy to drive and easy to back up with.
Good acceleration. A quick little car!
She doesn't like to sit in traffic, but nothing that revving up can't fix!
