Sometimes runs poorly during cold weather.
Transmission shifts roughly after vehicle has carried heavy loads. This usually goes away after a few days.
Very difficult to change spark plugs on.
The car gets less efficient gas mileage when the air conditioner is operating.
Rear windows have ceased to function.
3.8 liter engine gives wonderful performance. It has more than necessary power, and can easily leave most other 4 and 6 cylinder cars in the dust. It is in fact sometimes to powerful, and you can easily spin the tires.
Car handles very well, and drives well over any terrain through any weather.
Interior is spacious. It could be larger, but it is plenty big enough for a family of 4 or 5.
The exterior of the car has a wonderful metallic green paint job, and the car has an overall smooth appearance.
Braking is wonderful, and I have avoided several accidents in heavy traffic thanks to anti-lock discs on all 4 wheels.
The car gets good gas mileage at all times unless the air conditioning is operating.
I'm sad to disagree I had a 220 Horse Taurus, but my grandmas Bonny with 205 horses can easily out accelerate the Taurus.
I hope you are not referring to the Taurus SHO, depending upon the year those suckers crack out 220 hp and will smoke a n/a gm 3.8L in reverse.
Watch out for that 3.8, they're notorious for head gasket failures.
