The only Ford I ever had was a 1990 Taurus I bought brand new off the dealer lot. I got swooped into the hype surrounding the car at the time, with the high sales numbers and auto magazines praising it left and right. It turned out to be the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned (well, a close second to the Chrysler minivan I had which also was highly praised at the time). The Taurus was mainly plagued with electrical gremlins that the dealers could never properly fix. A short time after the warranty expired, the radiator basically blew up and left me stranded on the side of the road. The transmission also went out not long after. I don't care how much Ford says they're "new and improved;" they have permanently left a bad taste in my mouth and lost me as a customer forever.
