1996 Ford Taurus GL Review

Great Car, Will Remember It For Life — This was our family car for the last 14 years, very reliable and has broken down only once due to battery failure. It cost very little to maintain and a good family car. The build quality, like many American Cars, very strong especially in both the chasis and door. However, it is a heavy vehicle and doesn't handle well. This car is powered by a 3.0 V6 DOHC engine, with around 160-170hps, very quiet on both city and highway traffic. Primary Use: Family transportation

ProsColor, the sound of a Vulcan engine roaring, its sporty style. ConsLittle stuff breaks easy, a few unknown errors here and there.

Its Got A Good Color, Sporty Style, And A Good Ride. — Not a great car, but not a bad car either. Roomy, lots of cargo space, and quick enough to get around, but nothing sporty or fun like a real sports car. Take care of it and the engine will go farther than your average compact, but you'll end up replacing a lot of suspension parts and maybe a transmission. If your going to get a Taurus, a SHO is recommended for the sport driver out there, but for engine reliability the standard pushrod Vulcan V6 is best. The Duratech V6 is a good choice for those who want the same from the standard model but with more power. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Sho-gun — Overall, for 1996 this was an amazing car. Put it up against any other sedan from the era, and more then likely you will surprise a lot of people. The repair bills are horendous though, so watch out! They were great cars when new, but they are TERRIBLE "old" cars (due to the costly repairs). | ||

1996 Ford Taurus Review
ProsFantastic value for money. Styling quite amazing. Nothing else like it. So weird it'd great. 6 months in, still love it. Passed it's 6 monthly check needing nothing. Been on a few journeys and it has performed faultlessly.. Great, excellent,comfortable car. Beats my 2003 Diamante hands down. ConsNothing as yet. Interior plastics not world class quality, but all interior trim wearing very well thus far.

Massive Value For Money Orphan Ford — Just got Taurus. Needed decent size, performance and room at a good price. Quite rare here in NZ but seems durable and well thought of by all accounts. Time will tell. Rare here. Owners Love them, everyone else just stares, mouths open... Comfortable, well equiped, good safety equipment tally for age. Performance adaquate. Has that familiar 'big Ford' feel, despite being American, and front wheel drive... Handling 'competent' and great motorway ride. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

My Custom Sho Wagon — I built this car from the ground up in 2 weeks. I stripped the wagon down to the bare shell, then swapped in everything from my 96 Smashed SHO sedan including full wiring harness and dash. Then I had one of 2 SHO wagons registered in America and Canada. Fun and awesome car that could hall around 7 people. This car rode like it was on rails with SARC struts on the front and H&R springs. It also had 17 x 8 Mille Miglia M11 rims with 245/45/17 rubber. It was a complete SHO in a wagon body so it was a total sleeper. This pic was from the All Ford show that it was entered in.

Loved This Car Because It Was My First Experience To Be A Man — Loved the car. The feel, the color, the looks i recieved from it, how the car could pass most on the road even though many didnt want to take me on. I loved the sound system because it just engulfed me. Automatic temp was great. Just made me feel like a million bucks. Just ashame that it cost more money to repair than i made. Also the it took premium to fill and cost 45 to fill. That was when gas was cheap. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

This Was A Good Car For Several Years I Had It Altogether 11 Years. — This car had good performance and was reliable >the only trouble I had with it was when the check engine light came on and I payed MIDAS 378 dollars to fix it and it came right back on in a few days .I wound'nt recomend them to any one. Also the overdrive quit kicking in after about 73000 miles. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
