  Running strong for over 13 years - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By gemmerich - June 12 - 5:57 pm

  I got my Taurus from my parents back in 2003 when I got my license in high school. Before that, it was my older sisters when she was in high school, and before that it was the eldests when she was in high school. Thats right, by the time I got it, it had been in my family for five years already. I drove her all through college, back and forth from Santa Barbara to Sacramento. This is truly a miracle car, I am now graduated from law school and STILL DRIVING HER! I have abandoned all hope that she will ever die--I wanted her to not pass smog this year so I could turn it in for a program where I would get $1500. Low and behold, SHE PASSED. This is the most amazing car!

  Great first car - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By swingers171 - August 19 - 12:58 pm

  I bought this car with 111k back during my senior year of high school. I was able to drive it through my senior year of college. I hated the car, but I loved it. Common mechanical issues due to being an irresponsible kid. The one negative was on my commute back to school after a weekend home, my serpentine belt and pulleys were shredded in the middle of the trip. Never figured out if a rock got thrown up in there, or something else? Overall, great first car for a high schooler.

  Ford TaurusGL 1995 - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By Calvin P Bear - August 23 - 6:11 pm

  Ive got 225,000 miles, and the car still runs smoothly, getting 27 mpg highway, which is mostly what I do. Over the years Ive replaced most of what was attached to the engine: radiator, alternator, power steering pump, recharged AC. The worst was the paint job which flaked off in several places 5 years ago. Fortunately I can paint cars, and its as shiny as a new car now. Its paid for, looks good, runs quietly and economically. Im going to drive it until it falls apart.

  Poor Transmission Life Expectancy - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By Pete - July 2 - 5:58 pm

  I bought this car with 44,600 mi on it. At 77,000 MI The transmission failed completely (Trans fluid not burned or discolored) and without any warning. I was driving at a steady 45 MPH and when I stepped on the gas the engine rpm increased, but the car didnt accelerate. After coasting to the side of the road, I found that the car wouldnt move in any gear. I spent $2400.00 on towing, and a trans rebuild. I am not impressed with this car. It reminds me of the junk GM built in the 70s. The trans shop reported that the splines were stripped from the main shaft. Also, the gas gauge only works sometimes. My 93 Pontiac Transport has 294,100 MI and no major repairs ever needed. (still runs well).

  Got lucky - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By Pleased - May 27 - 11:46 pm

  It seems my Taurus will never die. 265,000 miles and going strong. Not a drop of oil burned or leaked. Have replaced some of the expected wear parts -usually before they broke down. always change oil at 3000 miles. replaced transmission at 230,000. some of the paint is beginning to fail and the interior plastic is becoming brittle and breaking.

  Good car for a Ford - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By Jimbo - May 5 - 4:25 pm

  Got it back in 2006, great car! Been in two accidents with it and worst i had was replacing a bumper and all the plastic stuff on the front end. Its a pretty tough car. Im thinking of finding a sho version of the 3.0 L though and transmission could use some improvement. the interior is cheap, door panels falling off so they are screwed to door frame with sheet metal screws.

  Best Ford - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By iguanaman00 - March 21 - 2:07 am

  This is my first car i have owned and i dont wanna ever let it go. the first thing bad that happend was the starter went out and then park.The heater core was out when i got it..and just recently my water pump went out but it is still running great today. when u get in the back of the car it sound like a Boat engine.lol. I love it and it is my baby.not really a ford man but i highly recomend this car.It also matters who was the first owner and how much maintence was kept up. Passes smog with flying colors. only one thing i dont like it the cassete player and the speakers dont bump like the new cars do. But when u are on the side of the rode listening to your 3000 pound raio.I will be cruzin

  Great Car! - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By mch218 - November 13 - 11:34 am

  I got this car when I just turned 16. At that time it had never been in the shop. But one month later the transmission went out. Since then, everything has been great. We keep the oil changed every 3000 miles and do regular maintenance. What is so surprising is the gas mileage. Online says I should get 28 MPG new, yet Im getting 30 MPG and this is 13 years old! I recently drove from New Orleans to Starkville, MS on less than 3/4 of a tank. The car had 156,000 miles in 2006, and Im nearing 200,000 right now and she still runs like new.

  Great First Car - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By JonFromSiouxCity - October 6 - 8:36 am

  I bought my 95 Taurus GL in the summer of 2005 since the 93 Aerostar I had caught fire. The price was right but I wasnt sure about it at first. It seemed like a big car and wasnt the "cool" thing to drive. But it grew on my pretty quick. Ive been in several accidents in the time Ive had it (nicknamed her Doris) and Ive walked away from every one. Its big enough to comfortably carry 6 people at a time, which I love. The ride and handling are incredible for a car of its age. The tranny doesnt shift real smooth, however. One problem has also been some of the interior amenities, like the trunk and gas release mechanisms dont work and the power seat gives me trouble once in a while.

  Great first car, too many problems - 1995 Ford Taurus
  By It could be better - March 14 - 9:06 am

  This is my first car. I only had it for 2 months and already I need to replace the struts, starter, and brakes. The previous owner said he had problems from day 1 when he bought it brand new. I only paid $350 for it so I am getting my moneys worth but the body does not look bad and the motor is quiet and its fuel efficient
