  • A Mid-Size Classic - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Ive had this car since Fall 95 when it had 12,500 miles on it. Shed been a program car and was still basically new. It now has 203,000 miles on it, and I wouldnt take anything for it. For an older V-6, the performance is excellent, both from a stop, and on the top end. Handling is not outstanding, but decent enough that Ive had a lot of fun with it. Comfort is first- class, and Id put it up against most any more expensive luxury car made in the mid-90s. Fuel economy is still good, and I get about 25 mpg in mixed driving. I have gotten low 32 or so on long trips, and all-city mpg is nothing to sneeze at at 19. Shes had many minor problems, but nothing major.

  • 95 Taurus for delivery! - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I bought this car to deliver mail on a 90mi./day rural route. Ive been using it for 3 1/2 years and have had no problems. With only the cost of maintenance to worry about, I can afford the gas no problem! (14.5 mi/gal delivering | 22 mi/gal driving around town) With only 145k miles on it, I Ill keep it going until she dies on me - and then I will buy the new generation Taurus.

  • Great run around car - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I think that this is a great little car for getting around in, but not necessarly for long trips. I got good gas mileage, and it always starts every time. The ignition does stay on sometimes even after I take the key out, but then it dings like I left the keys in so I just turn it off. This was my Moms car and she only drove it about 3000 a year, and in the year that Ive had it its held up to two kids, a teen and a toddler and all my running around. At first when she bought it I was mad, but now Im glad, its a great little family car, but I still need my bigger SUV or Mini Van for bigger outings.

  • Great Buy - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I bought the car in 1996 from a Ford dealer. It had 21,000 miles and in perfect condition. This has been my family car as well as a business use car. There have been no major problems with the car and it is in great condition. The body is in great shape with one door dimple. There are a couple of dimples on the roof from a hail storm but barely noticible. The interior is in good shape and is clean. The tires are Goodyear tires and are like new. The car has never been in an accident of any kind. The oil was changed at about 4,000 miles. There is a rattle up front that could be associated with the shock absorber. Mechanic could not find it.

  • Dependable little first car - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    This is my first car, I have ever owned. I bought it all in cash. So far since ownership I have had two major problems. Both problems were, fortunately, easy to fix. Rack and Pinion system was bad, and was replaced. And lastly, while driving, a strut broke on the left front with no prior indication or warning, taking the front left shock with it. The engine could use a little more kick and transmission is a little clunky and noisy. All in all this has been a great car. Durable engine fires every time the key is turned. Heat and AC excellent.

  • Bit the Dust - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I never had a problem with this car breaking down. I had it checked every six months. The ABS kicked in when it was supposed to. This car was very reliable. enjoyed having this car. The disappointment was that even though being well maintained the major parts, i.e. engine and transmission just went with age. I have a good looking exterior car but it is worthless because the repairs are too costly.

  • Surprised - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Bought this car as a beater. Havent heard good things about Tauruss, but think it might be due to the nondescript styling. Bought the car cheap with 104,000 miles. Everything works. Have taken it on two road trips so far, did great. Very pleased with my cheap purchase

  • Do Not Buy This Car! - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    My wife parents bought this car for us because our 1994 Cavalier(which was a good car) got wrecked and we were having hard times. I told them not to do it! They paid $3000 for it. The check engine light came on after my wife got it home that same day. Where do I begin with the problems? Broken speedometer, cloudy headlights, multiple emission problems (catalytic converter costs $450+installation in 2004!), bad transmission, poor gas mileage, cheaply made seals so something always leaks. I know it is 2006, so if you re looking for a cheap secondary car do not buy this one. The reason people are selling Tauruses for a song with very little miles is because they want to get it out of the driveway.

  • Money was worth it - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I actually bought this car for $1300 from a gas station with lots of hidden problems with it. About a week after purchase my car wouldnt start because my starter had died then that same day after getting it fixed my car had to be towed again because I had blown fuses. After that the car was loud but it ran great. When i finally gathered up enough to get the exhaust work done I found out that I had no catalytic converters. This was after I replaced the rear struts and sway bar links and battery. Then I found out I had a nasty leak in the main transmission seal which possessed me to sell it after everything we had been through together. but over all that the car got me where I needed to be.

    This car is super reliable, super-quick, and I feel super-safe. However, it doesnt have the best fuel economy and its not getting the "Most Beautiful Car Award" But, its been a trooper and seen 2 children through high school without ever breaking down. That makes this a million dollar car!
