1993 Ford Taurus SHO review from North America
"Should not have been called a Taurus.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the car I had the front (passenger) wheel bearing replaced as it was becoming noisy. I also had to replace the starter drive because the car had intermittent no start problems.
General comments?
This is a great car for anyone who simply wants to get in and GO. The performance of the SHO model is far ahead of its time, and the car is truly oriented for the comfort of the driver.
Granted the age of the vehicle, it has held up incredibly well, and has many features one would not expect from a car this old.
I would still be driving the car, but it was involved in an unfortunate series of accidents that have now exceeded the worth of the car- it was repeated kicked in the rear quarter panel, involved in a low speed frontal accident, and broadsided by a car pulling out of a parking spot. All of this occured in less than three months, and the repair cost has greatly surpassed the worth of the car.
