  • The almost car of my dreams - 1990 Ford Taurus
    By -

    This is one of the most interesing car i have ever owned. When I first bought my Taurus it was fun, reliable, clean and all over nice. But six mouths later that all changed. I ended up spending close to $2000 to get my car fixed. And ever since then my car has went down hill. I love my car but i think it is time for us to part.

  • Bad Year for Taurus - 1990 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I bought this vehicle used with 22,000 miles on it. At first it was a pleasure to drive. The first two years I put 250 miles a day driving to and from work. Not long after I bought it I was replacing parts. A new radiator. A new air conditioning compressor. A new muffler. And brakes -- never could get them fixed properly. Electrical problems left and right. Several wheel boots that froze with winter ice and snow -- that was a bummer. I understand that this was a very bad year to buy a Taurus.

  • Taurus : A Great Car That Falls Apart - 1990 Ford Taurus
    By -

    The 86-91 Ford Taurus starts life as a great car. It has a good ride, seats 6, looks good inside and out, and is relatively comfortable. It is also really fun to drive for an affordable family sedan. For the first 5 years you will love it. However, after 5 years you will start to hate it. Things start to make noise, alternators die every 4 years, and other things go wrong. My advise would be to buy a Taurus with VERY low mileage. As long as it isnt worn out, the 86-91 Ford Taurus is a great car. Just watch out for the higher mileage vehicles.

  • Fun car, but pricey to repair - 1990 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Watch out for *expensive* replacement parts for this car-- the body and interior may be a Taurus (ie, cheap mass-manufactured parts), but the engine was low-volume... There arent a large number of aftermarket suppliers for this car, so engine parts are expensive. Qualified repair shops are also tough to find...
