Today I know two people who still drive them with over 350,000 miles, never one problem. Then I know of about two people who's never lasted 100,000.

For some reason I've always found the car to be nice looking and reliable. And to add to your last commenter: FORD = Found On Roadside Dead I have to say that I’ve always liked the Taurus, even when it was in it’s space egg stage.

Still have it and drives like it's still new. In fact it'll be her 14th birthday next month. Does anyone know what FORD stands for? Fix or Repair Daily....Although I think Mustangs are the only cars that have a good reputation in the Ford family. I have a 92 Celica since I was in High School.

I was forbidden to buy a used car during college so I ended up buying a new Celica juuust before they stopped making 'em. I plan to keep her forever. Yay Celicas!

I think mine was 1990 Taurus. It was a truly terrible car, with constant transmission problems, but we owned it because it was the corporate car for Hewlett Packard. I inherited the space egg and within a few years the engine actually came loose of the casing, causing the torque of the engine to actually physically lift the engine block out of its resting position. Shortly thereafter, we donated the car (repaired) for a tax refund. Within a month, we got a call from law enforcement, who had found the car abandoned on the side of the freeway. Apparently it had been used in a heist and broken down. Whoops. The lesson: When robbing a bank, don't use a Ford as a getaway car. I used to own one of those. I think mine was 1990 Taurus.
