Shortly after purchase, I found the A/C barely functioned on a trip from CA to AZ. Spent part of my vacation taking care of this problem. On another trip, eng coolant light kept coming on. Turned out to be a sensor, but I lost travel time checking it out and it took the dealership 1 1/2 days to fix. On a recent trip to Las Vegas, a/c was making a terrible noise. L.V. dealership said it was O.K. to drive back to CA, but local dealership said this was bad advice because a/c was "coming apart" and parts could have gotten in my engine. Took them 4 days to pretty much rebuild the a/c.
What is all the fuss about?

Bought this car new because of the less than invoice 'ad' in the paper. Car has been great except resale. Now has 49k and no repairs, just keeps purring along. Only complaint is engine pings in winter. Maybe because it is an LX, I have no options that can go wrong.
Underrated Car for the masses

My Duratec 24V engine Taurus has been utterly reliable. I've covered 39,000 miles since 11/02. I service it myself and use synthetic oil and high quality filters, which I change every 10K miles. I got a repair shop to change the serpentine belt, changed brake fluid and auto-fluid too. This helps maintain the car's life and reliability I feel. Regarding performance, only use the overdrive 4th gear on freeways, stick to the 3 speed around town, gas mileage will improve as the box is not hunting up and down all the time. Great road holding and comfort. Seats are hard, but good for my back and there is oceans of space inside. Controls are easy to use. Brakes are appalling, as is wind noise.
My favorite car

Since I am very short. I especially love the adjustable food pedals. It has made it much safer for me in the driver seat. I do not have to worry about the air bags hurting me. I love the comfort and reliability of this vehicle. I can carry 5 large adults comfortably. It travels longs distances with ease and comfort. Even after 11 straight hours of driving, I still feel comfortable in this vehicle. I would definitely recommend this car to everyone I know.

My 2000 Taurus has been excellent in reliability. I have never had to call someone to come and start the car, etc. It has "wind" noise which is due to the design of the car. That should be fixed in the 2004 cars, hopefully. We have been very satisfied with our Taurus. We receive numerous comments on what a pretty and nice car.
