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.

  For the money, it doesnt get much bette - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Timwithabass - June 19 - 10:00 am

  I paid $9,900 for this 99 Wagon with 26,400 miles on it. It runs great, rides great, drives great, and has a ton of space for my double bass. Great on a trip. I dont race the car so I dont need anything super sporty. Theres a slight rattle in the tailgate somewhere which I havent sorted out yet. Wanted to upgrade to a CD player but had to buy about $100 of extra equipment to get a standard deck to fit in the oval shaped dashboard. Also, The sixteen gallon gas tank reads empty when theres still four gallons left. So youve only used 12 gallons when it reads empty. Thats only a gallon better than my Escort!

  Great Car - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Jason - June 2 - 12:43 am

  First car and have had it for 6 months and its been great. Was just rear ended the other day at about 25-30 mph and the Taurus held up fantastic. The car that hit me was a Corolla and it was totaled but my car only has bumper damage. Has lots of room for passengers. Ive driven about 5,000 miles so far and its at 75k and no problems with the car yet. Its pretty good with gas but could be better.

  Too many repairs, too soon - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By No More Fords - April 11 - 12:15 am

  Beautiful with alloy wheels and very comfortable. However, the air wasnt working when I bought it at 53,000 miles, but forgot to check it until after sale. Then it needed a new transmission at 56K, but received a used one for $1200 since new was almost $3000. Then oil leaks, coolant leaks, and at 70K the heat stopped working. Squeaks and rattles here and there. I called Ford three times about the transmission, asking for help, and each time they said engineering would get back to me. Can you guess if they did? Not. If this vehicle had had a 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty, the transmission wouldve been covered, but the warranty was 3/36. Plus, the resale is horrendous. Avoid.

  OK Car for the Money - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By emf - March 23 - 12:30 pm

  It is an okay car for the money we spent. We have had some repairs at 72,000. The biggest thing, and something we would have liked to know before we purchased the car, is that the Taurus has problems with the heater core and the heater going out. Were working on the second time of backflushing the heater core in order to avoid having to replace it. It is very expensive (and cold)! It is a comfortable, powerful, and roomy car - good for road trips, camping, and trips to the hardware store. A very nice back seat - for people and our large dog. I would recommend buying one, just know that there are some flaws associated with the Taurus Wagon.

  Soid and Reliable - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Ken - March 23 - 9:22 am

  This car has served us well for almost 6 years. It feels solid and substantial, and the price was right when we bought it new. I would definitely do it all over again!

  Its not too bad - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Bulldog - March 20 - 10:00 am

  If it wasnt for the tranny going out at 42000 miles (extended warranty) and the brakes forever shaking this would be an excellent car.

  Buy it again - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By Raymond Allen - March 10 - 4:31 pm

  I bought this car from my parents 4 years ago. I have put over 80,000 miles on it without anything more than normal maintenance. The only problem Ive had with the car is the brakes. The rotors warp after 8,000 to 10,000 miles, faster if driving in mountainous regions.

  Good Car for the Price - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By dhermesc - February 14 - 1:57 pm

  We bought a 99 LX used in 2001 with 17,000 miles, paid $9,500. Pretty base model, no power locks, no power seat, steel wheels, base V6. It does have the AX4N transmission, the same one that goes in the Duratech powered cars, should last longer then the car - much better then the AX4S that normally goes in the Vulcan powered cars. Driven the car 66,000 miles with two repairs the wiper washer pump and an exhaust sensor - total about $150. New rotors on the front at 60K, trannie flush at 40K. Paint looks good, interior is in good shape too even with two kids tearing it up. A good rock solid car for the money bought my mom one just like it a month later for even less.

  Okay - middle of the road car - 1999 Ford Taurus
  By mrs. ryca2 - February 8 - 6:00 pm

  I had a 93 Taurus first, great family car, only needed water pump. My 99 Taurus is falling apart around me: electrical problems,sensor lights, a/c died and temperature only blows very hot, front end problems (ball joints), antenna stuck up. One saving grace, the 24 valve Duratec engine is a workhorse, still has great pick-up at over 100k. I am looking at the new Freestyle but wont touch it unless Ford puts this engine into it.
