"Great Car! We bought it used 7 years ago and we barely had any problems with it. We love the huge station wagon storage in the back. We can just open the hatch and throw the bikes in. Half of our house fits! Pretty good MPG. Probably around 25 intercity +/-. Overall we are very happy with it, too bad they don't make wagons like this these days."

"I bought a 1999 Ford Taurus LX at about 110000 miles 5 years ago at a used car lot. I bought this for school and used it for work after I graduated. I got it for pretty cheap. It still runs pretty well. I haven't had many problems with it since I've gotten it. I've had to replace the speed sensor (wouldn't shift gears properly because it couldn't sense the speed) but other than that nothing too major in terms of repairs. It's at 162k miles now and it can probably run for another 2-3 years. There's nothing special about this car, but if you want a car to hold you over for a couple of years for fairly cheap consider giving this car a look."

"BOUGHT MY USED 1999 TAURUSIN 2010. 11YEARS OLD IT ONLY HAD 32,000 MILES ON IT. LOVE THE STYLING, THE COMFORT AND THE RELIABILITY. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET ALL THAT IN A PRICE MUCH LESS THAN A SIMULAR HONDA OR TOYOTA."

"bought this car used at 71370 miles.now has 84,115 miles.running good.now all of a sudden it revved to 3-4 rpm.don't know why it did.but it did.3xtimes so far.now it needs a new brake line and a new tension pulley.and a new tire.all would cost $240.00 to be fixed.but if the transmission is slipping.i am not keeping it.as it means it could go.better off buying a honda/toyota next time."

"Would I recommend this car to a friend? Yes, if the price is good. Which it usually is. I've seen used Taurus sedans go for cheaper than used Honda Civics that were older, and these Taurus vehicles are well equipped. I don't like automatics, but sometimes it's nice to have one and this car is a champ for long highway cruises. It just kinda floats down the highway, chomping up the pavement like black Fruit-by-the-Foot. There is no doubt that the features and comfort you'll get from this used car will be pretty much unmatched for the price. I would rate the reliability somewhat low as it needs brake jobs somewhat more often than usual and it does not like cold weather at all. A bunch of little things have gone wrong with this car, but the price is excellent and you get so much. If you're willing to deal with a few trips to the repair shop, I'd say go for it if you're comparing a used '99 Taurus for $2,500 vs. a '95 Toyota Corolla without power windows and A/C for $2,500."

"This car became a staple in our family. Great for hauling the skis, golf clubs, kite surfing gear etc. I bought one after I saw how good it was for my folks. It's just a little gem. I'm surprised that some people found the interior weird. I think the whole flip flip centre console is a really good use of space. Fold down rear seats is an enhancing feature. I will never get anything other than a station wagon ever again. As a single guy, they're awesome for hauling any toys you could want."

"I am a college student and the second owner of the vehicle. It is a great car. It is big enough to haul all of my stuff, the vehicle is very reliable. I have put alot of miles on it and the only maintenance needed was a new alternator and an oil change every 3K miles. I drive 25 miles to work each day and am getting 26 mpg."
