One wonders if you talk from exerience or only parrot "common knowledge" I had one that went 130,000 and was still going strong when I traded it in. |

Kinda reminds me of a watered down version of the Accord.
I'm just worried about the reliability.

I would worry about reliability, my friend at work bought a Taurus and ended up having ford buy it back because of all the problems he had.
By the way, it looks like everyother mid sized car out there.

The late 80's / early 90's Tauruses left a bad taste in everyones mouth... and the biggest problem with dealing with simple minded customers is that you ruin their possibility of retention with one incident and then spend decades doing well trying to gain their trust back. It's almost animalistic.
Good thing I fully educate myself on every big purchase I make... there are rarely any surprises for smart people. That and I care who I am giving my money to. |
