Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Pretty color and very clean interior
Cons: Everything fell apart when it was only 4 years old.

My husband and I were needing a bigger car after our 2nd child was born. We wanted something larger than our civic so that we had room to grow and wouldn't have to buy another car for awhile.

We saw this beautiful burgandy Taurus. It had...

by sslammed
Aug 13 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, Fuel economy
Cons: Transmission, Plastic radiators,
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this wagon if you could find one that is reasonably priced and in very good condition.

I bought my 1991 Ford Taurus L Wagon from a local used car lot in really good condition. It said 71,XXX on the five digit odometer so there was no telling how many miles was on it. I needed to have a car, and I always admired the Ford Taurus Wagons. I...

Rather ride a bicycle!

by gfreely
Jan 06 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: roomy interior, comfy seats
Cons: TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS!

We bought a 91 Taurus almost 2 years ago. It seemed to be in fairly good shape and drove well for a short time. The first sign of problems to come was the CV joints. After they were replaced, the brakes squealed BADLY even after the pads and shoes were...

taurus, good used vehicle

by chaseyoungs
Feb 14 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: spacious, smooth, dependable
Cons: transmissions

I bought a 91 Ford Taurus in April of 99 and it only had 61,000 miles. I love it. It is roomy and dependable. Sure it is not the best looking car on the road, but for a smooth low, cost ride, it is the best used car I have ever bought. The only down...

The Car With The Bad Transmission

by GustavusShaw Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000
Sep 02 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: The Engine Is Top Notch
Cons: The Transmission Is Below Average and The Other Parts Of The Front End Assembly

I have owned my Taurus for about 3 years now and it has been through the ringer several times. As reliable as the engine is the other components that comprise the front end are not. I have had the opportunity to put it in the shop many times to get it...

Pros: Still running after all these years

I have owned a 91 Ford Taurus since 1995. In that time, I have sunk nearly $5000 worth of repairs into it, including a transmission replacement, numerous brake jobs, and uncounted miscellaneous electrical and alignment-based repairs.

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: NONE

I bought my 91 Taurus from my parents because the prize was right and I knew who owned the car before me. I have had nothing but problems with this car. 1) The light blue paint on the 91 Taurus is defective. It will rust leaving you with a nice...

This car saved my life!

by glenn29
Jun 18 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great size and smooth ride.
Cons: Not exactly what you would call a "hot car"
The Bottom Line: Who knows, it could save your life.

I bought a 1991 Ford Taurus in 1995. I loved it for the amount of stuff (people, furniture, great for garage saleing) I could carry around. I must say this car was not exactly a chick magnet...but since I was in a long term relationship I didn't really...

Fourth Taurus, 1991 Ford Taurus Wagon LX

by alshoe
Apr 30 '03 - Updated Mar 30 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Comfortable, many nice features.
Cons: Transmission went out at 79,000 miles. Head gasket soon followed. Heater core went 99,000.
The Bottom Line: Do not recommend this car as a primary vehicle, particularly with the 3.8 V6 engine and transmission drive train. My experience with this car made me purchase a new Saturn.

Update 3/30/04: The heater core went out on this car, which basically was the last straw. We sold it as-is, last October. It had 99,000 miles on it. This is our forth Taurus, our second wagon. Our first two Taurus's were an 86 GL Sedan and 87 GL ...

Used Taurus Police Car

by micronaut
Jul 12 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: fast, police-spec components
Cons: no one doubts its a police car

I bought a used state police car -- a 1991 Taurus with low mileage ~50K. It's a champ. No frills, but with the police package: big engine, extra oil cooler, stiff springs.

It just keeps on going. Of course with the antenna on the roof and...

Awesome Second Car

by Dariana
Oct 24 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Smooth Riding Vehicle! Lots of room.
Cons: None Found!
The Bottom Line: If I could find another one in this condition, I would snap it up in a heartbeat!

Purchased this car early this year to use as a second/spare car. It had been a one owner and still had all the original paper work and any repair work-slips included. I knew the people we bought it from and knew how the miles had been put on the car....

Dec 15 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: low price, nice car, seats 6, comfortable to drive
Cons: needs too much costly repair work

I recently got a really great deal on a 1991 Ford Taurus Sedan. It was practically brand new, or so it seemed. It had 131,000 miles on it, but that seemed really good for the product I was getting.

I bought the car. It gets great gas...
