I have a 2015 SHO with 40k miles and I have not had one issue with it. It is phenomenal in the snow. I drove thru a blizzard in Kansas and into the Rockies and never had one issue with traction. The massage are great for long trips. It is very easy to increase the HP to 500 with a tune and catless down pipes. I paid 30k for it when it had 260 miles. It was on the dealer lot for over 1 year so by law it had it sold as a used car. Great deal for the money.

[@markgotschall2914]

I got my 2010 SHO from my mother, at 86 years old it really wasn't a good car for her, lives in nursing home with Limo service. It only has 52K miles on it, need to replace front bumper as it is cracked from several encounters, she had with parking lot light poles. It was my stepfather's dream car, he died one year after buying it. So far, I am loving the ride, I surprise a lot of people who try to blow by me, taught that lesson to a Mustang the other day, left him dazed and confused in my rear-view mirror.

I can understand the hate/disappointment with the car, but you said it yourself that this car is a sleeper and flies under the radar. The real gem of it is the engine. Lots of people out there getting 400+ whp with just a tune and minor bolt-ons. It’s not built to handle well, it’s built to go very quick in a straight line. It’s very American if you will and it’s a very niche vehicle for a specific buyer. Little fun fact, these can hand the same year Mustangs their lunch on a drag strip with little work done to them.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yep a tune helps

[@GucciBodyBags]

Despite the weight, it handles far better than say, the chevy impala ever has.

[@brockfilmzinc1]

I feel like this guy isn’t impressed by mach speed

[@johncoleman5388]

This is certainly a unique car. Firstly, a twin turbo system should eliminate turbo lag, due to the amount of airflow two turbos are able to produce when spooling simultaneously. Secondly, a simple $500.00 tune changes Ford's stock throttle response & how the transmission shifts. Ford apparently focused on tuning this car to feel smooth, graceful, and luxurious as it accelerates, so the car does not accelerate to its potential due to the stock tune. These cars were designed to compete with Dodge's Charger R/T line-up, in terms of acceleration, while offering a luxurious alternative to the sporty design of the Charger. Unfortunately, this concept did not appeal to the public. Most individuals seeking a powerful sedan tend to opt for a sporty feel over a luxurious one.

[@blackedoutsho1606]

My SHO has 70K on it tuned by livernois, downpipes and full bolt ons, 400whp and 500 torque, a great daily driver sleeper

Bought my 2015 Taurus SHO about 3 months ago, $15k only 56k miles. Came without PP but had all the driver assist options. Was surprisingly used as a taxi car in Chicago, was originally from Texas brand new. Pros: This car smokes everybody when I gun it at the lights. Heated, cooled, and massaging seats. The AWD helps out a lot. Parallel park assist, pre collison and lane keep. Came with remote start standard. Engine had no chain stretch. Cons: Tires are expensive. Not the greatest gas mileage, but it's not the worst. Turbo lag. Needed a catch can. Had to replace all fluids and plugs and coils(Was my choice though). It does shudder on a cold day but it's the intercooler, and I plan on upgrading in the future. All in all, I have put almost 6k miles on it, and enjoy it very much. My future plans include, noisemaker deletion, gearhead tune, and gear head intercooler (When it's not out of stock). But I don't plan on going too crazy with the mods since it is my daily.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you for sharing this and being objective my friend, great info. Congrats on getting the car at such a great deal its a lot of fun for these low prices, enjoy!

2016 model. Black on black. 32,000 miles. Resonator delete. K&N air filter and cold air intake. Flowmaster 40 series race muffler. H&R lowering springs. 415 hp; 395 lb.-ft. Body roll and dive virtually eliminated. No torque steer. As you alluded to, essentially a Mercedes E-S Class tweener. Kind of like a V8 550 with a solid AMG sport package. An extremely safe, family-friendly, long-distance hauler. Parked next to a naughty 2009 C63 AMG. Homicidal monster. Not fit for family duty.

[@happynow01]

The front axle will go out if you havnt changed the oil in it every 20k miles... it costs $3k to fix. Ford denied this until a year ago, so if you test drive one and the front makes a grunt or you smell oil when you look at engine, get them to knock down the price $3k. Actually all Ford AWD has this issue. I speak from experience. I love that car... just be careful. Also, the 3.5 will run forever UNLESS someone ran the hell out of it and didn’t change oil on time. Then you’ll be rebuilding the turbos just over 100k miles.

I own a 2016 with 20k miles myself, and like the car, so I'm not trying to hate on it, but the one thing I would warn people buying a SHO with that high of mileage, is plan to keep several thousand dollars extra in your bank account to deal with repairs if they come up. The SHO is a pretty good quality car, but the cost of repairs on this vehicle is NOT cheap. Just look up what it costs to change a water pump on this car and you will see what I mean. Also, the car has twin turbos, even assuming the previous owner kept up with the oil changes and put the right oil in, turbos go out usually around 150k miles or within 10 years (although the SHO uses Garetts, so they may last a bit longer). Again, not trying to hate on this car, just don't buy an older, high mileage one, and think the cost of repairs are going to be as cheap as a Buick LeSabre with a 3800 V6 or something.

I would Love to find a 95 Taurus SHO 5Spd Manual!

[@tihsho14]

I have one! 😊

[@Youdaboob]

Yeah! I had a 95 manual sho years ago. Was my first car at 17...Great car and it set the bar pretty high moving fwd from there. Bought the contour svt after the sho...loved both of those cars but one downside - ford wanted $2500-3000 for new clutch even back then....Good times.

[@petertornabeni602]

Too bad. That Taurus is a good car in all aspects.

Well tuned the sport mode is insane compared to regular mode

[@Argedis]

Why does it have a huge front leaning rake? Are they all like that?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

No clue

[@Maxiemilain]

ya they are all like that. i myself lowered mine, the ride height is hideous stock.

There is no linear progression there is instantaneous torque down low but is very sluggish in the high end.

I’ve got a 2010 Lincoln MKS, love it

[@Bisu.Bisu.]

Wow I totally disagree with your assessment. Also put in the car shifter in the S position does change the Dynamics quite a bit. The response of the the throttle and transmission are much more peppy... But that is not (sports mode). And you really can't show off the performance of the SHO unless you put it in "AdvanceTrac Sport Mode"(the gear shift is not the sports mode that people are telling you about... It's only part of it) or completely disable AdvanceTrac (google it). That really unleashed the true performance of the SHO by removing all the safeguards that restrict the car's performance. You did not show the cars full potential in your video. Not not even close. All affords 3.5 EcoBoost engine can be placed in sport mode with a press of a button. GTS!

It's an average car that's comfortable. That's the end of it people can jerk this off as much as they want but that's all this is.

[@omt4293]

Hey… just have a question. I recently saw a 2012 Taurus SHO on sale. It’s around $18,000. It only has 14,000 miles on it! Looked at the CARFAX and auto check reports, car is legit with the miles. The car is a 2012, hasn’t been driven much. Would you purchase that car? Obviously the car being a twin turbo and all. Thank you much appreciated!

[@Pierson116]

The pre 2013 SHOs aren't as good, they are the pre-facelifted ones and aren't as refined, which is why they are less desirable and expensive than the 2013 and newer.

[@omt4293]

@@Pierson116 gotcha. Yea I decided not to go for it. Honestly I think that car, if something happens with the turbo it will be an arm and a leg to fix

[@godzilla6740]

Most police I talked to complained Taurus wasn't big enough missed their Crown Vics. I never liked Taurus but the SHO is a different animal kinda like it 4 wheel drive and all the toys on it as u say need an extended warranty cause of complexity. High performance and luxury imprtant to me. I have Marauder that fits that bill for now. Enjoyed yr great review.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea this is def a little short on rear leg room unfortunately and yes I do like the SHO it's an interesting choice in the used segment but a Marauder is epic I would def like to check one out soon. Thanks again my friend!

Would value your opinion on a 13 to 16 lincoln mkz. Trying to decide on it. Would be great if you found one close for a review.

[@gregoryduffin524]

This cars performance for a large car is Outstanding , it is Very Quiet and Comfortable on Benz level. It pulls out of the hole almost everything and your comparison is tainted. You cannot find a car this quiet and this fast that can out ride, out drive or beat this car and it's reliability for the money, the dollar value is legit and even unmatched, so much for your opinion.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Its boring af

[@sonjamcintosh7813]

@Gregory Duffin I agree. He is a little biased and everything he said he didn't like about the car I love about it and it actually makes the car outstanding.
