Review
I got a great deal on mine since my brother is a car salesman. I paid $1000 for it with only 63,000 miles on it! Although the a/c never worked I love this car. Built like a tank. The only problems I experienced were an radiator leak, electrical issues and a hole in the exhaust (regular wear). I had mechanic friends so repairs were cheap for me. I recently fell victim to 2 accidents in 2 months. Both times I was hit by senior men who shouldn't be driving. My car now has significant cosmetic damage and will cost more than it's worth to fix so I'm trading it in for a '94 Taurus GL sedan ::tear tear:: I would buy it again if given the opportunity!

Bought this car brand new in Jan 1992
and ran it for over 188,000. Just sold
it (Dec 2003) to someone at work and
car is still in great condition body
and mechanically. Has the 3.0 liter v-
6 that is virtually indestructible as
long as you maintain it. Original
transmission finally went out at
160,000. Only minor rust on bottom of
car's tailgate and it was used in the
Chicago area the entire time. Only
sold it because of great deal on new
SUV. I will miss it, but it will give
good use to new owners.

Car starts flawlessly every time, the
heater warms up fast. The 3.0 liter,
automatic accelerates and shifts swift
and smooth and the ride is quiet and
smooth as well. There is some roll
when cornering hard and fast, what
you'd expect from a wagon. Otherwise
handling is very good, especially in
panic moves/stops. Braking is very
good.
Interior is roomy (ligitimately can
fit 8 passengers), egronomics are
excellent, seats are comfortable,
original sound system is very good.
Reliability is excellent. Have
serviced regularly, as suggested, with
no problems. Replaced tires/wheel
alignment at 57000 mi., front pads at
62000 mi. I am extremely satisfied.

I have two of these SW from 1992. Both
have leaking steering. One has a dead
air conditioner. One has a failing
transmission. The inadequate air
conditioning will freeze you on a cool
morning and leave you sweating by 11:00
am. The rear defroster connection wires
on both cars failed. Both have barely
adequate cooling systems. AC fogs
windows exactly where you need to look
to see the side mirrors.

We purchased this car for our college
bound daughter, within a week it
stranded her: ablown fuse with no
known cause. Finally get it back,
stranded her again, blown head gasket,
leaking radiator, and now the tranny is
acting up too. A knowledgible mechanic
told to get rid of these before they
hit 120k, ours has 101k. I'm looking
at a $1000 repair bill on acar that I
paid $500 too much for.

Ford knows about and refuses to fix the
self destructing AXODE transmission and
the head gaskets on the 3.8l for this
year. Later years 3.8 head gaskets are
fixed under a hidden warranty as may
the 91 AXODE trans. DO NOT BUY THIS
CAR - you will have head gasket and
transmission failure. Interior door
panels rattle, cooling system failed.
Too bad about the engine/trans
otherwise this was a stylish and
comfortable car.

Bought new in 92. 3.0 motor is bullit
proof. Uses quart of oil every
2000miles (145000 on odometer). Changed
oil every 3000 and trans fluid (key
maintenance) every 30k. Air cond still
ice cold, just replaced water pump
(144k)..rebuilt trans at 112000
(starting to get soft ($1600).I pulled
heavy loaded popup trailer on summer
vacations. ABS Brake rotors only
problem area. Acceleration misfire
caused by mass airflow sensor cable,
FORD has update..worth the $40.

We found this car to be perfect for our
family of 5. It was very comfortable
and we felt safe. The 3rd seat in the
back came in handy, and we had very few
things go wrong with the car. Very
reliable!
