1986 Ford Taurus Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the 1986 Ford Taurus for its spacious interior and decent power, particularly enjoying its design as a family vehicle. However, many express frustration with the car's reliability issues, especially the drivetrain and frequent repairs. While some love the Taurus's handling and vintage luxury features, others report high maintenance costs and parts scarcity as major drawbacks."
Bought used so I really can only say what I like about the way it is now. Overall Tough car and nice looks. Aside from having a hard time finding some replacement parts for it so far it's ok. I like the way I can open either the whole back or just the window part. I like the hideaway for the tire.
June 17, 2009This car had the Yamaha engine - never had a problem for 186 thousand miles. Perfomance was average for a v6 engine - excellent handling in the Wisconsin snow. Seemed to have to replace the boot joints annually, and the digital dash slowly broke down, but other than that the car never had any problems that I can remember.
October 11, 2008Great interior space, was a great car 22 years ago but the drivetrain was unreliable.

January 4, 2008Bought a used Taurus wagon cheap after my Toyota died. Lots of interior room, great highway cruiser, good placement of controls. I could lift the rear window and fit two garbage cans in it. Great "park it anywhere and not worry about it" car. AXOD transmission failed (as many, many of them did), spent big $ to get it fixed, but stuff kept breaking. Liked the car but ultimately couldn't trust it. Donated it to charity.
