Ford Taunus Engines and Transmissions

Among the gasoline Ford Taunus engine options, the Cabrio’s 1.7 MT and 1.7 AT illustrate the choice between manual and automatic transmissions. The two-door sedan’s 1.5 MT is another manual example. These versions drive the rear wheels; a manual lets you choose when to shift, while an automatic reduces your workload in traffic.
