Used 2001 Ford Taurus Sedan Consumer Reviews
Just wow
Only have 192,000km have put 5k into fixing it so far and just keeps adding up. Master Cylinder went scariest day of my life Brakes going out while driving. So many leak issues so much oil, grease and coolant. Thermostat gone twice. Wiring issues. Back lock won't work. Door on drivers wouldn't shut had to Jimmy it a few times. Windows coming off track. No longer indicates what gear I'm in or tells me if my emergency brakes are on. The list goes on

Love My Taurus
The price was right for a new car. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I especially like the roomy trunk. The gas mileage is great for a car that has plenty of power for passing and freeway entry.
Good Car For the Money
Overall the car has met our needs: husband, wife, 2 kids. We drive it all over town and some out of town trips as well. All of us fit comfotably in the car. The price was right. Nice family car. I do not regret the purchase.
Decent Reliability/Everything else break
The car has worked for what we needed, but every summer so far something has broken with the air conditioner and had to be repaired (Buy the extended warranty!). My Taurus has to be aligned about every 6-12 months. It is roomy and comfortable and the engine has held up quite well. I'm not impressed with the fuel economy. Be sure and get all rebates and don't pay too much for the vehicle and don't count on good trade in value as these vehicles along with most American made ones do not hold their value well at all.
Great Dependable Car
I bought the Taurus in 2001 with 14,000 miles. It is now December 2008 and I still have the car with 112000 and counting. I love the car it gets 26 mpg highway and about 19 in town. One time I had a slight shimmy while shifting so I changed the tranny fluid, fixed it. Replaced the egr valve, turned rotors, changed plugs at 100,000, change oil every 5000 miles (use motorcraft) and it keeps on going. The only problem is that the washer fluid hose is busted, the sway bar support rattles and brakes vibrate. Just had our third child and will likely have to sell it. Sure will miss this one. Can't believe I've had this good luck with a Ford, I used to be a Chevy man. Go buy one they are great.
