2003 Ford Taurus SEL review from North America
"Super Value and safe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my first car. I got the car new.
Water is getting in front driver's headlight.
Air-Bag light on when car was new. Dealer fixed.
Sometimes the car will sputter and act as if it doesn't want to take off, but it has never died.
General comments?
Excellent MPG on Highway 32
City 20mpg.
Very much room in car and trunk area.
Very nice seats and controls.
Excellent drive on snow and mud roads.
Good car, just keeps on going.
Got new with leather for only $16000- which includes a premium 100000-mile warranty and free oil changes for as long as I own the car.
Nice Car. Very good looks.
