You might be asking why I named my opinion "Turbo Pinto". Well as a high school graduation gift my father gave me his old 1991 Ford Taurus SHO. The car was purchased brand new in 1991, with every option you can think of. The color on the outside was white and the interior was black leather. The vehicle has 220 horsepower and it is a stick shift. In the two years that I drove the vehicle it has been repaired at least once a month. The repairs alone would cost more than $1000 and the mechanic would take up to a month to fix the problems. In the two years I owned the car my father spent out over $7000 fixing the problems. At this time I was just starting college and needed a reliable car to drive, my Taurus did not do its job. Problems I encountered the last time I drove the car were the temperature of the car was always hot due to the coolant holder always leaking, electrical system would malfunction during warm temperature days, the brakes sweaked profusly, (my favorite one) the air conditioning system would only work for ten minutes and last but not least the factory stereo broke. I DO NOT recommend buying this car, it is a complete lemon. My Taurus deserves the title of TURBO PINTO!! It is unreliable and will put you in the poor house by the amount of the repairs cost!
