1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"It is what it is, a good domestic sedan."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump replaced at 35k under factory warranty.
Steering rack replaced at 65k, no warranty.
Front wheel bearing replaced at 65k, no warranty.
General comments?
Car has held up very well and I'm pleased with the overall value to repair ratio.
Change the oil and filter regularly, follow other factory suggested maintenance schedule and you will minimize potential problems!
24 valve V6 is definitely the car's best feature. Fit/finish and overall vehicle durability also very good.
