I have a 99 Ford Taurus as a company car. I am now on my third Honda car and still on my first honda lawnmower (1990 model). The Taurus has about 66K miles on it and I have had it in the shop for window motors, transmission, emissions problems, and the other day I reached into the console and the top came off in my hands. 00 is allot of money but factor in your time at the repair shop if you decide on the Taurus.
