My son had one. It had EGR problems that kept recurring (bad DPFE sensor, clogged intake manifold port). Those long dual overhead cam chains made a lot of racket and seemed to me likely to stretch and or break if he'd kept it much longer. Transmission in that car was worse, however. Had to have it overhauled twice. He finally wrecked that Taurus, which was probably just as well.
