Well, I had only owned General Motors products, til I bought a "program" '94 Mercury station wagon. I wanted something with a car-like ride but a lot more room. I love Explorers, but feel they are too expensive and still ride like the truck they are to me. Of course the Mercury Sable is a Taurus with cosmetic changes.
It has been through a lot. 2 different people bashed into the right rear panel within a month. 1st slight & 2nd one worse. 2nd's insurance paid for repair. Then a valve blew, I think. Anyway, Mercury said it was a defect & had already mailed word about a free extended warranty before it happened to me. So I limped directly to the dealer and left it. No problem! Ford paid it all and did an excellant repair.
Then on Thanksgiving morning about 2 years ago, I walked out to discover that noise I had heard during the night was .... a huge tree limb falling on the top of my wagon. We were renting & the landlord's insurance paid for a complete repair....new top, some glass, body panel, repaint, etc. Lucky me cause it came to just a shade under what would have been required for them to say "totaled!"
Needless to say, I love my wagon. It has all the room I want and is very versatile. However, you know they screwed up the radio when they have to put those "convenient" controls up on the dash, cause the main ones are too hard to control while you drive...lol. I, too, am starting to have the wiper business. I just fiddle with it a couple of times till they fall down & cut off. The driver control switches for the back windows stopped working, so cheap me just reaches to the back door & lowers the window with that switch. The dog demands the right to stick her head out back there.
That Ford extra warranty repair won my loyalty. I plan to run this sucker into the ground. Hope they are still making them when it dies. Keep changing that oil! My '92 Pontiac Bonneville is still going strong with a rebuilt transmission last year.

you know, as much as i hated my 1st gen taurus (and my 2nd gen sable)...you've got to hand it ford, they sure made a comfy car with a decent motor and ice cold a/c...the rest of it was garbage, especially the transaxle. of course, i cant speak for the newer models, but i've learned my lessons on buying big, bulky, FF, automatic cars.

but I'm stuck with it. I owe twice what it's worth (mostly my fault and getting raped by the salesman). But my 99 GX has been a very reliable car.

95k miles, and no major repairs yet. Replaced the tires, front and rear brakes, a/c recharge, radiator and heater core flush, and it starts reliably and runs great.

Due to replace the serpentine belt, timing belt, could probably stand to go to the dealer for a tune-up. Need to replace the multi-function switch on the column, only way to turn the wipers off is to turn the car off.
