station wagon GLX
Strength:
Easy to handle and drive in every day use. Spacious and relatively easy to maintain. Like the appearance.
Weakness:
Air conditioning, the O-rings has been changed now at least 5 times, still leaking, and the compressor unit once. Reasonably well behaving family car, with good amount of space. Similar Products Used: BMW 540iA -97, Quite unfair to compare, BMW has superior performance, handling and overall quality. But it's double as expensive as well.. |

Strength:
Fast. Yamaha motor.
Weakness:
All items on car poor quality except engine. This car is a LOT of fun to drive simply because of the acceleration but, it is a wonderful engine (Yamaha 24V V-6) wrapped in a junk car. One thing I can say is, it has never left me somewhere. Other than that I don't have much good to say about it. You name it, and it's going bad or has gone bad. Steering rack (second one that I know of) causes a steering pulsation which is outright dangerous. Auto trans slips ( and no I don't beat the tar out of it) front wheel bearing failure, stereo broke, cheap interior quality, poor fuel mileage, cheap paint, cruise module burned up (literally) 2 power window failures (which are also VERY slow). Also, my 93 Cadillac STS with the Northstar was much faster but otherwise a piece of junk too. Similar Products Used: Most of the cars I have owned are not really in the same class. 93 Saab 9000 turbo, 95 Cadillac Concours, 97 Audi A6 Quattro, 93 Cadillac STS, 89 Firebird Formula 350 |

NOTHING..........NADA....I WISH I STILL HAD IT! Over this car is great! Traded my 2000 camry for it, at the time I thought it was a mistake. I guess I was rong...it far better than the Camry!............AFTER 3 MONTHS OF BUYING THE CAR IT GOT TOTALED!.......i WILL BET MY LIFE ON IT AND ADMIT TO ANY "JAP" CAR OWNER THE TAURUS IS FAR BETTER AND LEAVE CAMRY AND ACCORD BEHIND!....NOT ONLY FOR QUAILTY BUT SAFTY! WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT A LADY IN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD RAN THE RED LIGHT GOING 45MPH, AND BROADSIDED ME ON MY SIDE! THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO WALK AWAY, PEOPLE WHERE SHOCKED BECAUSE IS I WAS DRIVING SOME PLASTIC MADE TOYOTA OR HONDA, I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THE PLOICE SAID! SINCE THE TAURUS HAS THICKER STILL ON HER FRAME. MY TWO YEAR OLD NIECE IN THE CAR SEAT IN THE BACK WAS SCARED BUT SAFE.( THE TAURUS ONLY HAD 1,091 MILES WHEN IT GOT TOTALED, WHAT A WASTE!) FOR THE LADY IN THE 2000 ACCORD, SHE WAS OUT, SHE HAD NO LICENSE AND NO INSURANCE, THE CAR WAS HER DADS AND HE WAS IN THE NAVY GONE! IAM NOT A MONEY HUNGRY PERSON, SO I DID NOT SUE, BUT DID MAKE SURE I REPORTED HER FATHER TO HIS "COMMANDING OFFICER" TO WHAT HAPPENED, BELIEVE ME HE FOUND OUT! THANK GO I HAD UNINSURED MOTIZED! AS FOR THE HONDA, IT WAS TOTALED, THERE WAS NOT FRONT END ON THAT CAR, ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVING COMPART WAS EMPTY, THE WERID THING WAS THAT HER SEAT BELT SNAPPED! I TELL YOU "OVER RATED JAP CARS!"
