Overview & Reviews
A mild facelift, revised trim levels and fewer options are the only changes to Ford's midsize sedan.
- Commodious and ergonomically correct.
- Swoopy styling and fish-faced snout leaves us cold.

good most of the time - 1998 Ford Taurus
By sop1 - March 10 - 1:30 pmOverall, a good car. Most of the time works smoothly, but when something does go wrong its usually expensive. Safety features provide all sorts of quirks.

Ford Taurus - 1998 Ford Taurus
By steve - November 10 - 2:02 amThis has been a fairly reliable car. Used it mostly over the road. I did have to replace brake rotors at 50,000 miles and just had those replacements turned at 175,000. Does use oil 1 quart every 800 miles started using somewhere around 160,000 to 170,000. Had some overheating problems. I also replaced ujoints at 120,000. Some minimal electrical problems. I get anywhere between 23 to 25 miles per gallon consistently drive mostly 75 on interstate. For the money I paid for the car it has been a great car. I am shooting for 250,000 to 300,000 miles. The ride is not the greatest is a bit on the rough side.

All mighty Taurus - 1998 Ford Taurus
By Mike Pagone - October 19 - 10:30 pmThe car has been very good so far. I only had minor problems. Since it does have 90,000 miles this is normal for any car. It rides great and it is by far the most comfortable car i have ever driven. The only thing I cant stand about the car is the inaccurate fuel gauge. It seems to never tell me the right amount of fuel I have.

Mixed Feelings - 1998 Ford Taurus
By radiosonicfan - August 12 - 5:47 pmIt is a good vehicle. Very comfortable except like many others I had to get my transmission rebuilt at about 100K. I like the car but I didnt expect replacing the alternator and starter within the first 3 years. I continue to own the car and currently have 130K on it. I expect to own the car for some time.

1998 Ford Taurus-Wagon/Torador Red - 1998 Ford Taurus
By jo p. neer - August 11 - 6:25 amThe size & comfort & room n the back would sell this car. Have replaced 95% of parts under hood. Have put upwards of $3,000 in it, which makes it run smoothly and will stretch the usability of vehicle. Would trust to go from coast to coast. Is scratched from dog jumping on it, so could use a paint job, but not necessary, no rust. sliding seats & seats. Automatic windows, very clean. No fading on dash. Has right arm rest, lifts up or down. Back lift & window n perfect condition. Average gas mileage, less n city, more on highway. Good pick-up. Good tires. luggage rack.

Great Car - 1998 Ford Taurus
By Dave - July 22 - 6:41 pmThis has been a great car. It never missed a lick. Only replaced battery once, regular maintenance, changed brakes. This engine is great with great response. Average 25 MPG. The car will be missed.

average car - 1998 Ford Taurus
By john_doe - July 18 - 2:00 ami like the car for what it is but it has cost me money right from the beginning. brakes were the worst. anti- lock was good but the brakes themselves were always bad. the ride and design of the car is real nice untill you realize the rattle is from plastic front end suspension parts. yes plastic. so over all yea its a nice car but would i buy anouther one? i would have to say no, only because of all the problems with the car.

What about the brakes! - 1998 Ford Taurus
By jeepstr9 - March 28 - 2:00 amI have owned my Taurus for about 4 years now. I really cant complain expect for a couple of things. First and foremost are the brakes! Numerous problems with them. Second would be service from dealerships. Although not directly related to the vehicle, good service may make the diffrence of buying a from a certain maker or not.
