The '86-'91 Ford Taurus starts life as
a great car. It has a good ride, seats
6, looks good inside and out, and is
relatively comfortable. It is also
really fun to drive for an affordable
family sedan. For the first 5 years
you will love it. However, after 5
years you will start to hate it. Things
start to make noise, alternators die
every 4 years, and other things go
wrong. My advise would be to buy a
Taurus with VERY low mileage. As long
as it isn't worn out, the '86-'91 Ford
Taurus is a great car. Just watch out
for the higher mileage vehicles.
Favorite Features
My favorite features of the '86-'91
Taurus are its quick throttle response
and good handling. It is by no means a
fast car, with 0 to 60 taking well over
10 seconds, although 30 to 60 comes in
no time. Another good feature is that
all of the controls of the Taurus are
easy to use.
Suggested Improvements
The '86-'91 Ford Taurus seriously lacks
reliability. Although the engine will
go over 185,000 miles without a major
problem, the electrical system and
drivetrain always have something wrong
with them.
