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.

  Great car for the long run - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By WGM - August 20 - 2:00 am

  We bought ours with 26,000 and have been most pleased. The only reqd work has been maintenance items. The only minor complaint is a squeak in the power steering but only in the summer (hey, you would squeak too in Texas heat!). I have read some of the other reviews and consider myself blessed to have found a good one that we intend to keep a LOT longer. Sure there are minor things to keep up with but nothing makes me want to trade it at this point. Would recommend anyone looking for a value in used cars to look at a Taurus - great size, features, and reliability at a reasonable price.

  Fun to drive car - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By JonathanV - July 25 - 2:00 am

  So far an excellent car. I have put about 4,000 miles on the car since I bought it, and it has performed flawlessly. It had 82,000 miles when purchased. I am a senior in college, so having a reliable car is important to me, considering I go to school 600 miles from home. The wipers seem to come on by themselves occasionally, but so far that is the only problem. The engine and transmission seem to be doing fine, and are much smoother/quieter than some of the professoinal critics would have you believe. Nearly imperceptible upshifts/downshifts. Does not use or leak even a drop of oil, a first for any American car Ive ever owned. A/C works perfectly.

  SHO me the way - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By regfootball - July 4 - 2:00 am

  55,000 miles. Fast if you step on it. In need of brakes tires struts. Car feels beat up, but its a Ford over 50k miles I should expect that. Radio stinks, no in dash CD. More sound deadening would be nice. Front seats are way comfy. Engine sounds awesome. Slow off the line, above 3500 rpm it starts to kick it. Trunk could be larger. Paint, body still good. Harsh ride over bumps doesnt help. Steering and handling very good when tires were newer. Excellent touring car passing power awesome. Tranny kicks down slow. Be aware: design defect with v8 SHOs and camshaft design. Ford trying to hide it. Ford should fix this for ticked off owners. V8sho dot com.

  Another Ford... - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By 99LX62K - March 25 - 2:00 am

  It is a good car but there are several design flaws. Like many I have seen, the door ajar light is always lit. The brakes leave a lot to be desired. The seats are very comfortable and it really is a nice riding car. Handling isnt as good as the import sedans but the suspension is definately better. I would lease this car but I would never buy a new one. The resale value on this car drops so much that it will cost you $3K a year to drive it. This 99 was purchased new for $16K and it is now worth $5K.

  Ford Wagon - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By jjajijic - February 12 - 2:00 am

  Best car for the money, we travel a lot including Mexico. Hauls all our gear, and not like a Mini van or suv you can see and easy to park.

  I like my Taurus! - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By goldenbeauty - January 19 - 2:00 am

  I was apprehensive about buying an American made car but the Taurus has performed beautifully and there has not been any problems with it, even considering the fact that I bought it used-a 1999 in 2003. A very comfortable car and a smooth ride. I would highly recommend, with any used car, to buy a warranty. I did just in case and so far havent had to use it. Id rather be safe than sorry. This is a good car with a lot of features with out the insanely high price tag. Feel good about buying this car.

  Very poor choice - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By bdelauri - December 16 - 10:00 am

  I have nothing but major and minor problems with this car. Not to mention that it has no good resale value. I have had to replace numerous things such as: power steering pump, abs sensors, trans mission, engiene and front struts are now going out. And on and on if I had more time....:(

  Better than I thought - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By roger5 - December 6 - 2:00 am

  I have found that in 92,000 miles my Wagon has been very reliable. Only one problem with a Vacum conector Conection . MY maintiance cost have been limited to Brakes, Rotors, Tires one time only and a Serpintine Belt. only I am told now to watch my Ball Joints they are showing some ware. But not Bad for 92,000 miles
