1994 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Good looks, but killer on GAS!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First bought the car needed a starter then soon when the radiator and then the head gaskets blew and then needed brakes front and rear and then a tune up then after all the work I did to the car it needed struts now the sub frame mounts are bad and I don't know if it will pass inspection like that and its starting to rise in the passenger lower rear quarter.
General comments?
It's a great car that ford designed, but the fuel economy I'm getting even when I'm not no where near the floor is about 12mpg and that's horrible for a Taurus and people that own them should know this I got a blazer also that's way faster and is getting upwards of 20+mpg and a caprice that is getting around that as well, but it's a alright car for 900 bucks that I paid for, but now I'm up at around 3500 into the car I don't know if I would get another one they rust and kill ya in gas.
