1995 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Poor gas mileage, but a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crack in the Radiator at 134,000 ($120 fix)
General comments?
I really can't believe how comfortable this car is! I can put my seat all the way back and the people sitting behind me still have plenty of room. There's no center console, and this car realistically seats six.
The trunk is huge! My friends decided to see how many people we could fit in there and determined that at LEAST 5 would fit!
Pretty good pick-up and go. It out accelerates my friends' cars unless you push down on the accelerator too fast. Then it just gasps.
The parts are cheap, but the gas isn't. It only gets about 18 miles to the gallon.
Over all, I've had a good experience with my Taurus.
