Very fast and comfortable
Starter went at 115,000.
Processor went, had to replace $$$.
With the Super-charger this car is a force to be reckoned with.
Doesn't handle around turns as well as I wish it would.
With every option under the sun, I love this car.

Absolutely incredible
The only problem I have had is running out of gas.
This car is awesome.
This car is incredible, I haven't had one problem with it since I received it. I will not buy a different car for the rest of my life, Ford is awesome, you guys are complaining about your cars messing up, all cars break down and have problems, get over it.

Ford IS CRAP. Maybe you own one of the few "decent" Fords. The European Fords are also the same, costly pieces of junk.
I just got a 94 Taurus GL form a private owner for $500. and it seems to be a great car. Muffler has a couple of holes and I'm gonna get that replaced, however I have a little hesitation from time to time. But as soon as I give it gas it goes! Any ideas? Fuel injection? Spark plugs? Holes in the muffler? Just being testy with it's new owner??? I'm a female and hate to be taken for a ride.
Financially.
Thanks,

A good car with a bad transmission
Brakes.
Rotors.
Ignition switch.
Radiator.
A good car with a terrible transmission. The 3.0 engine is bulletproof but the transmission feels like it is made of plastic, it is very clunky. I am just waiting for it to go.
Another factor is that these cars are dirt cheap when compared to GM products that don't seem to be much better.

A problem prone vehicle
Transmission rebuild at 60,000.
Two water pumps installed at the Ford dealer 13 months apart.
Front driveshaft.
Engine pinging that can't be fixed.
Broken electric lumbar support.
Quality in not what Ford builds into their cars. "Quality is not job 1".
Luckily I got the 3.0 Liter engine instead of the problem prone 3.8, else I may have had engine problems in addition to the transmission.
Transmission problems on the six cylinder Fords is an epidemic for Ford owners. I can't believe the Government never forced them to recall them.
Ford had known about their transmission problems for years, but continued to make them anyway.

I can't believe you sold the Legend and got a Taurus. No wonder you hated it.
Hi man, I thought my car was the only one!!! Piston #6 valves or springs weak!! 2,100 for a rebuilt transmission plus more engine problems. Transmission and engine sucks!!!
Body and handling are very good!!!
Does not hold up well with age...... poor quality
Transmission replaced, fuel pump replaced, turn signal mechanism replaced, motor mount replaced....
$3000 worth of mechanical replairs in four years.
Ford put all the money in the looks!
Car is a joke mechanically......
Resale value is also a joke, the word is out.

YES! These cars are a joke when it comes to quality. It's not only the engine that eats water pumps, top gaskets and that often fails completely before 150K miles, and a transmission that fails at 80-100K, but the rest of the car is a joke too. An interior that literately falls apart around you, and various electric, mechanical and electronic problems.
Rough running, won't start when it's warm, electric windows that don't work, failing A/C, warning lights on and off all the time, sensor problems, sagging doors, outer trim that falls off, shot wheel bearings, major front end work in the suspension before 100K, rotors that warp after a couple of years, central locking that works when it wants to, headlight problems, original stereo that failed, etc etc; the list is ENDLESS!!!
There cars are a complete disaster when it comes to quality. Had one for a couple of years and finally had to give up; it was more in the repair shop than on the road. Hopefully most of these cars are now off the road and wrecked. Shame on Ford for making these cars in the first place. Spacious and comfortable, but quality wise, a complete joke.
