Review
Just turned 200,000 Kms and love this car. Big, comfortable for long trips, reliable and can pack in as much as most half tons. Other than a prematurely rusted weld in the gas tank neck I only do regular maintenance to this car. I look after it, keep the rustproofing going, fix anything like paint chips etc. After I do a total clean-up and wax it it looks, runs and drives like new. Just changed the left ball joint and did a complete brake job (only the 3rd since new- hyway miles only). Tried the new Taurus and it felt claustraphobic due to the small windows and I don't like the way it and the new Focus are high in the rear. Vulcan engine is a Will keep mine until it is done - 6 more years???

We bought this to replace our 1995 Taurus wagon, which I loved, and which would approach 30 mpg highway with careful driving. Well, the poor mileage (around 20 highway) was only the beginning of our disappointments. When we first bought the car, water would leak into the passenger floorboard every time it rained (up to a half-inch of standing water). It took the dealer 25 hours of labor to find all the leaks. Unfortunately, since then we have also lost roof brackets, the entire air conditioning system, the rear window hydraulic supports, the rear door latch, and multiple rust spots. I've never had a greater variety of problems with a single car. Good job, Ford. You've lost me.

It drives well, tracks down the road very confidently, and has a good steering centering ability. Car feels solid and secure. The car is quiet at highway speeds. There are many features that come standard on this model: keyless entry, strut hood supports, 16 inch wheels/tires, liftgate opening glass, rear window wiper/washer, roof rack, 50/50 split folding second row seats, AM/FM stereo cassette, air conditioning, automatic transaxle, and floor mats.

I purchased this vehicle on june 12th
of 2004 new with 3 miles. i have owned
it for 3 weeks and it has been in the
shop for a total of 7 days now. They
have replaced the fuel sender and fuel
pump because the car stalled and the
fuel guage is not functioning properly.
Its in for a second repair now on the
same problem. I am dissapointed that I
have payed so much for a car that I
havent had much time to drive.

Was skeptical of performance, economy
wise, during 1st 1000 miles. My 1st
real test came during trip of 300mi.
Averaged 24.1mpg, with some
around town driving at the dest.
Noticed appreciable increase in town
driving since around 2000mi. Now
averaging 20.6 town driving. Driving
Taurus wagons since 1988. They fill my
need for sedan like performance with
extra cargo space. 1st experience with
DOC engine. At first, a bit offset with
the different sound resonated until I
looked under the hood and saw the
engine.
