I love my 2000 SEL Silver Frost it was my car that i used to travel to and from highschool in and i still use it to commute to and from college and i also have a 2002 Platinum Edition Sable as a back up. these 3.0 Duratecs are beasts as long as you take care of them and the transmissions are pretty sturdy if you keep them properly mantained.
like the song but i had a 1998 ford taurus with the 24 valve duratech engine and it SUCKS. there was always something wrong with it, and every problem i had was a bitch and a half to fix. what should be a 1hr job if that, like replacing an alternator or distributer is a 3+ hour job. ended up giving it to my dad wen he got his license back and bought a 1988 mercury grand marquis. the only problem that car has is a drinking problem, but it has twice the room everywhere than the taurus
Then you must bea fucking dick face. Becaue I also have a 98 with the Duratec, and It's the best sedan i've ever driven. It's actually much easier to fix than my Mazda that breaks down every FUCKING second. I bought a Taurus with a an alternator issue, fixed it right up at an Autobody shop FFS.
@SecularTechnology my 98 taurus was a pos that was always having problems. i replaced it with a 1988 mercury grand marquis and i have no intention on going back
@jakesaintsrow123 ik...the only problem my 88 marquis has is a drinking problem. other than that, its much more comfortable than my old 98 taurus, it hauls more ass, less shit goes wrong with it, and the trunk is so big i can take my gf and have sex in it. lol
You are fucking shit face. Duratec was a very good engine, actually it created fucking 200 Hp back when 3L were making fucking 145 Hp. God you are a fucking bitch.
outside of little things falling apart or even off my taurus, i love it and the day i get rid of it is the day i can see spare change through the floor. 1997 ford taurus gl, 3.0 v6 vulcan, ax4n 4speed transaxel with overdrive, power windows, locks, remote entry, power trunk, power driver's seat, power mirrors, alloy wheels, 4 wheel abs disc brakes. 130,000 miles and still smells new.
taurus is the best the only thing dat stoped me was when i crashed not that long ago and even though i took it to the shop reconnected the fuses and it turned on like a beauty but i mest up my radiator the front of the car and the whhel axle i think but its under construction
i got a 1996 Taurus 3 weeks ago. Scary little bastard. Hit 110mph, scary how fast it moves. Eletrical is eh and the transmission clunks into gears, bad motor mount i think. Only paid $450 and an extra 400 for parts. i love my baby :-)
Where is the very first red, 1986 Ford Taurus Located. I know its in a Museum, obviously, lol. I really want to go see it. I have seen it, in other views, on google images, but could never find its location. I really want to go see it.
@jordy19892012 How bout the 1988 sable convertible they made and stored in a warehouse and sold on ebay in 2006. I would love to see it because there are no pics!
I have a 96 Taurus GL V6 and i love it to death and i have eaten a few impalas with it since i baught it 3 months ago. !!!!!!!!!!TAURUS POWER!!!!!!!!!!!
My sister traded in her 1999 Taurus SE yesterday for a 2010 Nissan Sentra SR. We're all happy to be rid of that heap of junk. Electrical problems like none other, had brakes replaced 3 times in 6 months, linkage btwn shifter and trans snapped, seats felt like a rod was stabbing you in the back, antenna snapped off years ago (not really the cars fault :P), gear shifts like a WWII tank, and the paint was peeling! Did well in snow tho :P.
I really like the Taurus. I would have the say, as far as syling, the first generation Taurus is my favorite. I really liked the third generation too. A friend of mine had a 1995 Taurus, it had 212,000 almost trouble-free miles when he sold it. The only things, other than matinence it needed was a water pump and a ball joint!
australian ford tauruses all the way! they're rare over here, 97 ford tauruses never took off, and now the few that are around are considered to be extrememly nice, mind you the only tauruses that made it over here were all ghias and were tripped out with EVERY revolutionary feature that was available back in 96-97. my tauruses features still challenge most new toyotas and holdens and can be compared to 2006 BMWs. i couldnt be prouder to own my taurus!

My mom has a 2003 ford taurus with 75250miles on it and im a GM guy for a few reasons my moms car has a window not working excesive tire wear and break noise and now something is sqeaking like a bat out of hell. FORD DONT DRIVE ONE!
only problem i ever had with my taurus was i was driving it ant my hands blocked the oil pressure light....destroyed the motor but all it needed was bearings..still driving it today over 600k miles on it
TOTALLY AGREE! I to am the proud owner of a 2002 Taurus SEL (Minus the Jeep Grand Cherokee) Purchased it in '06 @ 60K miles, now at 105K PROBLEM FREE! (must say though,...the 2010 IS tempting me)
Back in 2002, we drove a silver Taurus SEL off the lot brand new. In May 2006, after 158,000 FLAWLESS miles, and surviving two prior wrecks, it was finally totaled out by a Jeep Grand Cherokee running a red light. That was the most problem free car we have ever had, WAY better then the '04 Lincoln LS that replaced it. Tauruses are great cars.
I also got to go on a tour of the Hapeville, GA Ford plant back in 2005, where all the REAL Tauruses were built. It was very cool.
fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down UGLY. i like the lines of the 00-07 better than the bubble 96-99 years. but as least if u drive a taurus wagon u dont have to worry about it being stolen. it was rated as the least stolen vehicle some years back. judging by its looks i can see y ha ha
my 01 ses has the AX4N tranny which is better than the older AX4S but its still stupidly slow on the downshifts unless u bary ur foot into the carpet.
My friend drives a white Ford Taurus LX (94 or 95) and it's a sweet car. My parents used to own a light green 93 Taurus GL and its an uber awesome car! My friends think I'm weird about Ford Tauruses but they don't know the benefits of the Ford Taurus!

some white asshole with a shaved head flipped me off in a 1996-2003 ford taurus today. he had an ugly ass big brown dog, with no fucking fur in the back seat. driving one of those fucking white taurus's. he was making an illegal u-turn in the left hand lane as I was making a right turn. how the fuck am I supposed to know he was going to do that?
I cut him off obviously, which resulted in him going to the left of my car, honking, then flipping the bird. fuck you guys with Taurus's.
still remember my tauruaii fondly...saw the second one the other day and talked to the new owner - she loved it. Suprising considering it was absolutely stuffed thanks to my driving...its the blue one in the first burnout (new zealand). Aussie Falcon will be getting taurus' 3.5v6 (plus turbo version) in 2010 - the current 4.0 turbo puts out up to 310kw so the high tech 3.5 sounds promising. Watch this space!
the standard 3.0 ,which is all cast iron , just outlasts many others....and it pulls the car around with no problem , it dosnt work very hard..it is bulletproof
yeah, really great cars. like anvils. especially with the torquey 3.o vulcan, i know only 150 hp(153), but it moved the car really well , indestructalbe and they are ALL cast iron. maybe one of fords best engines. a gm v6 is guaranteed to need some big repairs,early.like geadgasket , etc.
and you can get , or could , an 06 for like 10 grand
Yeah I used to have a 94 with the 3.0 vulcan. Suspension went long before the engine every did. Now I got an 03 with the 3.0 duretec. But it doesn't seem to be plagued with half as many problems as the earlier ones on the SHOs. It runs great and I got that 200hp.(wanted a muscle car and couldn't afford one, so this was the next best thing) My friend has an 01 Grand Am Gt and he's had that thing in so many times to have it serviced it's like not even funny.
hey yeah,what is it with grand ams? the worst car known to man.. every 3.1 equipped one goes to shit at 60k? so many headgaskets. the fours are better , but.plus i am 5'8" and there is no headroom in those pos's.
yeah the sho's were cool but....plus every one seemed to get beat to shit.yamaha engine?
as an "older " dude , love my fusion (v6), fast and affordable.
my 1st car, a 92 grand am se was an EXPENSIVE POS. i find out after reading up on it that the whole quad 4 engine family is riddled with problems. for some reaons i kept on burning up the coil pack/housing every 6 months and once that happened, id lose a cylinder or 2 lol. them fusions are nice looking cars...watch out for them in '09 when they get the duratec 35!
it was just a bad platform to begin with. think of it as early coil on plug ignition. the housing and two coil packs sat right on top of the head. the car cost me about $1600 but i spend at least that much in parts...no more GM for me
i think when i got it, the car had a spun a bearing or something had burnt out...always had a slight misfire, even when warm and the engine got REAL rackety at higher rpms...it was rated at 120hp when when new...i think i got had and got a lawnmower instead lol
There's something undeniably American about the taurus. It makes your heart warm doesn't it? My family's had 6 taurus's since i was born, including 3 SHO's. The taurus SHO is the car that got me into cars. The next taurus will be sick!
Once you own a ford there is no other company better! Fords are the best! i have a 2003 Ford taurus SEL fully loaded auto climate control dual power seats power pedals everything! I love it! Its way better than the average boring camrys and accords!
A fine car. My family had two Tauri, a teal '93 wagon and a green '94 sedan. The wagon's still with us, but the sedan got totaled (sad); it got replaced with, you guessed it, another Taurus (red '97).
I just bought a 1995 GL from a nice old lady with 22,300 miles. It may look like a grandma mobile in tan, but its WAAAY more comfortable than my 98 accord and 96 camry were. All it needed was brake lines, and it rides like a luxury car. Once all the new speakers and radio is installed it should be perfect. I was always skeptical about fords, especially since my mechanic father said they were no good, but this Taurus is just amazing and even he thinks so.
dude its back now so and i like how the taurus drives my mom had one i like them there good cars so i know what you mean i was sad when they where taken off the production like but i am happy that there back
I had trouble with my heater in my taurus and I knew it was either the heater core or the thermostat. I put a new thermostat in it and checked the core and it didn't make a difference. I took apart the rubber pipe connected to the heater core and it was totally gummed up so I ran drain-o through it and all the shit came out now it will give u heat stroke!
W00T! Taurus tribute! How awesome! These are definitely my favorite. I've got a 2001 SES and I absolutely love it. I think I will always stick with Ford, and hopefully with a Taurus. Have you seen the new ones? Wow. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those!
I have a '97 GL sedan, other than a factory oops with the transmission, it has been a perfect vechicle, 10years old w/ more than 75000 miles on it. combines big american car with euro durability and style.
i had a 91 wagon...it went 7 years without an oil change had over 200,000 miles on it radiator died there was a hole in the floor where you could see the road...the electric windows died but it still ran and drove strong...i had to get rid of it however it needed so much work to pass the next inspection. it went 2 years uninspected
there is no way that you ran a car with the same oil for 7 years. love the taurus but there is no way. the oil would become thin and you engine would sieze up
hahaahaha i got a friend who had a 97' taurus was doin 40mph through town and this dumb bitch pulled out infront of him in a 06' ford f-350 crew cab long bed and he fuckin TORE the hole rear axel OFF the truck and bent the frame..... he was in a fuckin taurus...
My wife has had 3 Tauruses and for her next car she wants the 08 model. her 2000 LX just went over 100,000 and it still runs great.
NO PROBLEMS but she likes the new body style better. I find the taurus a very comfortable car.
We recently took a 700 mile trip in her car and we averaged 27 MPG out of the Vulcan with the A/C running 95% of the time. We went from Arizona to L.A. and back so temperatures outside went from 110 in Arizona to 103 in LA.
i love my taurus. it has done me well. it was stolen last week and i got it back. it gets back from the mechanic tommorow. some bastard was drivin my baby.
Too bad you ccouldn't find him or else you would have done what his daddy should have done to that punk ass when he was growing up and that would have been beaten some respect into him.
mine too punched door lock and drove it 10 miles and went through my stuff. only stole navigation hahaha dumbass i had $200 multimeter and a air compressor in car
The Taurus is an automotive icon, that's why. This car set the stage to all car styling in what it is today. Before this car came out, cars were nothing more then square boxes.
i like the old bodies but the 2008 doesnt show their old looks. their nick name was the jellybean because of the shape of the body. (btw i was talking about the taurus)
RIP taurus. Hopefully the fusion will impress and transport this country as well as the taurus has for so long. Amazing american car, the end of an era. Great tribute too btw.

the standard 3.0 ,which is all cast iron , just outlasts many others....and it pulls the car around with no problem , it dosnt work very hard..it is bulletproof
otterhead45 3 years ago 2
Yeah actually the 3.0 on the Gen1 is pretty quick it lacks the torque of the 3.8 but has the same hp and is lighter.

windnsea03 3 years ago
they are great cars, unlike the crap made by gm,mopar
otterhead45 3 years ago 5
apparently windnsea03 has never owned a taurus. they should try one out.
SkinnyGuy59 3 years ago
yeah, really great cars. like anvils. especially with the torquey 3.o vulcan, i know only 150 hp(153), but it moved the car really well , indestructalbe and they are ALL cast iron. maybe one of fords best engines. a gm v6 is guaranteed to need some big repairs,early.like geadgasket , etc.
and you can get , or could , an 06 for like 10 grand
otterhead45 3 years ago 2
Yeah I used to have a 94 with the 3.0 vulcan. Suspension went long before the engine every did. Now I got an 03 with the 3.0 duretec. But it doesn't seem to be plagued with half as many problems as the earlier ones on the SHOs. It runs great and I got that 200hp.(wanted a muscle car and couldn't afford one, so this was the next best thing) My friend has an 01 Grand Am Gt and he's had that thing in so many times to have it serviced it's like not even funny.
SkinnyGuy59 3 years ago
hey yeah,what is it with grand ams? the worst car known to man.. every 3.1 equipped one goes to shit at 60k? so many headgaskets. the fours are better , but.plus i am 5'8" and there is no headroom in those pos's.
yeah the sho's were cool but....plus every one seemed to get beat to shit.yamaha engine?
as an "older " dude , love my fusion (v6), fast and affordable.
otterhead45 3 years ago
my 1st car, a 92 grand am se was an EXPENSIVE POS. i find out after reading up on it that the whole quad 4 engine family is riddled with problems. for some reaons i kept on burning up the coil pack/housing every 6 months and once that happened, id lose a cylinder or 2 lol. them fusions are nice looking cars...watch out for them in '09 when they get the duratec 35!
seniorcat03 3 years ago
yeah , like why did all quad 4's suffer from lousey sensors - etc. great idea - didnt work. and i was pulling for them at the time
otterhead45 3 years ago
it was just a bad platform to begin with. think of it as early coil on plug ignition. the housing and two coil packs sat right on top of the head. the car cost me about $1600 but i spend at least that much in parts...no more GM for me
seniorcat03 3 years ago
yeah , you are 100 percent right - and the electronics were really bad .
otterhead45 3 years ago
i think when i got it, the car had a spun a bearing or something had burnt out...always had a slight misfire, even when warm and the engine got REAL rackety at higher rpms...it was rated at 120hp when when new...i think i got had and got a lawnmower instead lol
seniorcat03 3 years ago
There's something undeniably American about the taurus. It makes your heart warm doesn't it? My family's had 6 taurus's since i was born, including 3 SHO's. The taurus SHO is the car that got me into cars. The next taurus will be sick!

Once you own a ford there is no other company better! Fords are the best! i have a 2003 Ford taurus SEL fully loaded auto climate control dual power seats power pedals everything! I love it! Its way better than the average boring camrys and accords!

A fine car. My family had two Tauri, a teal '93 wagon and a green '94 sedan. The wagon's still with us, but the sedan got totaled (sad); it got replaced with, you guessed it, another Taurus (red '97).

I just bought a 1995 GL from a nice old lady with 22,300 miles. It may look like a grandma mobile in tan, but its WAAAY more comfortable than my 98 accord and 96 camry were. All it needed was brake lines, and it rides like a luxury car. Once all the new speakers and radio is installed it should be perfect. I was always skeptical about fords, especially since my mechanic father said they were no good, but this Taurus is just amazing and even he thinks so.

I don't understand. If you love Ford Tauruses then why would you burn the tires for so long. That just ruins the car.

Anyone have trouble with your heater ? my 2000 blows cold air if the engine is idleing. It has a new EGR valve and thermostat
trailertrash20 4 years ago
Wait for it to warm up.
Zt24367 4 years ago
I had trouble with my heater in my taurus and I knew it was either the heater core or the thermostat. I put a new thermostat in it and checked the core and it didn't make a difference. I took apart the rubber pipe connected to the heater core and it was totally gummed up so I ran drain-o through it and all the shit came out now it will give u heat stroke!

I currently own a '98 SE with 154,000 miles on it. I've had it since 2004 and it's still going strong. Before it I had a '94 LX. Great family car.

W00T! Taurus tribute! How awesome! These are definitely my favorite. I've got a 2001 SES and I absolutely love it. I think I will always stick with Ford, and hopefully with a Taurus. Have you seen the new ones? Wow. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those!

i had a 91 wagon...it went 7 years without an oil change had over 200,000 miles on it radiator died there was a hole in the floor where you could see the road...the electric windows died but it still ran and drove strong...i had to get rid of it however it needed so much work to pass the next inspection. it went 2 years uninspected
idc1233333 4 years ago
there is no way that you ran a car with the same oil for 7 years. love the taurus but there is no way. the oil would become thin and you engine would sieze up

My wife has had 3 Tauruses and for her next car she wants the 08 model. her 2000 LX just went over 100,000 and it still runs great.
NO PROBLEMS but she likes the new body style better. I find the taurus a very comfortable car.
We recently took a 700 mile trip in her car and we averaged 27 MPG out of the Vulcan with the A/C running 95% of the time. We went from Arizona to L.A. and back so temperatures outside went from 110 in Arizona to 103 in LA.
GREAT CAR.

The Taurus is an automotive icon, that's why. This car set the stage to all car styling in what it is today. Before this car came out, cars were nothing more then square boxes.
