1989 Ford Taurus L review from North America
"It has to be the most fun car I've driven, I enjoy it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To be totally honest the only thing that's been wrong since I owned it. The headliner is starting to pull loose by back window. Throttle positioning sensor is messing up right now.
General comments?
The car drives nicely the only good acceleration point is between 35 to 65 mph and it's not that great. It purrs like a kitten and looks nice the ground kits sets it off nicely. It also has 5 star American Racing wheels. Also I added a rear spoiler off a 1989 Mustang L X (I shaved were the back light once was). I upgraded the sound system to 2 J L Audio 10's with a 300 Watt Boss amp with a Pioneer CD player to provide music. I love driving my Taurus.
