Overview & Reviews

The light group and speed control are now optional on LX level cars. Chrome wheels on the SE models have been replaced with five-spoke aluminum wheels.

• Cheap, well equipped and fairly powerful.

• The interior is cramped, some of the ergonomics are muddled, and the car is just weird looking.

  Excellent - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Drusus - November 24 - 2:00 am

  Got the car from my father with over 100,000mi on it, and has been a great performer. Had only one problem, a bad rack-and-pinion. Other than that, great all-around car, with a surprisingly good-sounding stock speaker system.

  Worst Car I EVER OWNED!!! - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Better Not Buy - November 21 - 2:00 am

  Only 67,000 miles and know a broken head gasket, freze plug corroded, broken hood release, squeeking steering column (sounds like a bulldozer) If you see a FORD-RUN. FOUND ON ROAD DEAD!!!

  Great Car, Great Depreciation! - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By HardinMan - November 17 - 2:00 am

  We bought this car new 4 years ago and it currently has 80,600 miles on the odometer. The car has been exceptional! With the DOHC engine, it really moves when you want it to. The lumbar seat with leather are so comfortable on trips.Gas mileage is acceptable at 28- 30 mpg. Only repairs we needed were to have newbrake pads. The big drawback is that the depreciation is extreme.

  "Taurus" Cant get much worse - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By shootingstar - November 17 - 2:00 am

  My 99 Taurus started its life as a half way decent car, but at about 6 months into ownership it was one problem after another. It might not be "Fix or Repaired Daily", but it has been averaging repairs about every other month. No other car I have owned in the last 20 years, domestic or foreign, has been as unreliable as this clunker. If you buy one, be prepared to have the breaks replaced about 3 times or more a year, along with some other expensive surprises. JUNK!!!

  Ford Cant Build Consistency - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Beware of Ford - November 11 - 2:00 am

  This car was well-maintained by the first owner, whom I knew. I bought it with 53K and, 3K later, the transmission went. Thats a 1000 dollars for a used transmission with a 3-month guarantee! Ford Consumer Affairs took my information and said someone would review it. Uh-huh. A local Ford service writer said that the most hed seen Ford give customers towards out-of-warranty repairs was $500, but you had to have the work done at a dealership, which would cost $2600! Yikes! Do not buy this car, it is too risky, and Ford does not stand behind their product. P.S. All the mechanics and transmission shops I went to or called said the same thin

  Well worth your money - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Mackettric - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car 2 years ago for a little over 12 grand and it was money well spent. Its been nothing but completely reliable, and I put a lot of miles on this car, over 2000 miles a month. And the V.6 engine can really move, fun car to drive, much better than those little Hondas that cost more.

  Not Again!!! - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By All wrong - October 6 - 2:00 am

  This is my second Taurus. The first had trans problems (1990). I decided to give it a try again. I purchased it slightly used with a warranty. It was loaded and a great size for my family. There was a trans problem with the car (55000 miles on it). The dealer fixed it before I took it home. Since that time this car had a lot of problems. Serpentin belt cracked, needed new hoses & plugs, brought it back 4 times for the transmission, and then this weekend I opened the trunk and found 3 inches of water in the spare tire well. The whole trunk was wet. It had (66000 miles on it). It also needed more maintenance.

  Great car - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By BBrian - September 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car with 20,000 miles and about 1 year old. The car has been very reliable-no problems other than routine maintenance. Good riding car, nice power and handling. Very comfortable interior. I would buy this car again.
