For A 1993 Vehicle With The Above Items Repaired Would Be In Good To Ecellent Condition — It is just plain car. It gets about 20-22 mpg which I like. There are wind noises coming from front doors which I find annoying. I haven't had to have many repairs done to this vehicle, what a person should expect; brakes, starter, oil changes, tune-ups, tires.

Pros

Astounding performance, especially in 1993.

Cons

Weak synchros in 2nd gear. Hard starting in cold temps.

Sleeper Car — Based on humble underpinnings, the car comes alive with the Yamaha-built 3.0L V-8 and manual transmission. 0-60 in 7.0 sec. 140+ mph top speed. Reasonably taut handling. Weak synchros in 2nd gear. The Yamaha engine was built for alot more thrashing than the accessories could take. Too bad this engine never found it's way into a purpose-built sports car.

Taurus Sho — My SHO is in great physical condition. It's very quick (especially for a Taurus) and can blow most ricers out of the water. It came pretty cheap, but the exhaust had been modified. It's very fun to drive and handles like a pro. I hope to keep it for a long time.

This Was My Favorite Taurus Out Of The 4 Taurus' I'd Had Previous To This One. — Before the 1993 Taurus, I'd had 2 1988 Taurus', one 1986 Taurus and a 1988 Mercury Sable. The '93 was by far my favorite! Smooth, comfortable and so much fun to drive. It handled fabulous in any weather and looked great!

Barf — It was very unpleasant to drive. Perhaps the worst car I have ever driven. Lots of mechanical problems. It shook if you took it over 60mph. Was slow as a brick and could barely make it up any hills. Thank god it wasn't mine and that I drove it only a few times.

1993 Ford Taurus 4 Dr Gl Sedan — A "granny" car that out performs most Ford Explorers and Chevrolet Blazers. Performance-Better than Ford Explorers and Chevrolet Blazers. Build Quality-After many repairs,the noises are still louder than the radio. Appearance-Is perfect for a 75 year old women. Cost of Ownership-Enough! Fun Factor- ...?
