My first vehicle was a 1994 Ford Taurus. I had it between 1998 and 2001. I almost owe a sense of gratitude to that particular car. Had it not been for its safety features, I may not be here today. I was in a serious car accident in which I would have likely been killed in most vehicles. Due to this car's size, durability, and air bags, I survived. It was completely my fault and had nothing to do with how the car drove. I never had any mechanical problems with the car. It was very comfortable both in the front and the back. It's design is nothing fancy but it does not look bad at all. It was very easy to drive. The gas mileage was not bad as well.
