1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Good, safe, reliable car at a good price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rebuilt transmission at 126,000 miles.
Replaced AC condenser.
Pretty much rebuilt front suspension over the years.
Had problems with interior dome light, but a squirt of WD-40 in the door latch repaired.
General comments?
I drive this car primarily on the highway and put at least 400 miles a week on it. Very comfortable and easy to drive.
Overall, I've been satisfied with the vehicle, although some of its suspension problems came around 50,000 miles and annoyed me at the time.
Purchased for $14,000 and have provided regular maintenance. Planning to keep it at least one more year. I'm in no hurry to part with it.
