I can't believe no one has mentioned the Taurus. Any year. What turd-boxes. Probably because the Taurus was the #1 best selling car for 5 or 6 years straight, which means few people would agree with you. I've never heard anyone who owned one complain about the quality.

I got over 200k miles with my 92 Taurus. And I'm hard on cars. Did have transmission problems though. But now on my second. The only brand new car I ever bought was a 74 Dodge Dart. Built from stuff taken from Crackerjack boxes as far as I could tell. Terrible vehicle. Ex-girl friend had a 87 Chevy Celebrity. Literally started falling apart as soon as she bought it. GM's reputation far exceeds the reality. They build a lot of awful cars.

Really? You must not know too many people who have owned them. I own a 1996 I unfortunately purchased brand new and it has been the biggest pile of crap I ever owned next to the Hyundai I once owned. The motor is currently blown. Before that the rack and pinion let go while driving it. The transmission (a notorious weak spot in the Taurus) quit once. I've towed back friends Tauruses with blown transmissions more than once. Every person I know who owns a Taurus has had numerous problems.
The reason it was the Number 1 seller is due to fleet sales.
Period.

I loved my Taurus. Never had any trouble with it. Comfortable for me to drive. Got rid of it and got a Volvo. What a money pit that has turned into. It's days are numbered.

My commuter is a '97 Sable, been a decent car. I put about 600 to 1000 mile a week on it and do not take very good care of it.
But it seems to keep going - 118,000 miles.
A door ajar issue recently and a sensor in the transmission going out is the only real issues.
3.0L V6 does a pretty good job.
