  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2011 Ford Taurus SHO. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    I had a 2010 with the second to the top of the line performance trim. It didn't have the larger wheels or the massage seats, but it had the heated and cooled seats and all the other performance options. I drove it for over two years commuting from McLean Va to downtown dc daily. So I was constantly challenged by people in high line automobiles like porsches, maseratis, and top line audis, bmws, and lexuses. I rarely got beat off the line at traffic lights, and only a few cars were able to outrun me in a quarter mile or on windy Virginia two lane roads. It handled Georgetown pike with all the hills, curves, better than a 911.
    When I got t-boned by a minivan I spun around three times, smacked the curb and stopped about 50 yards from where she hit me. But the car stayed right side up, and I had absolutely zero injuries. The front drivers and side airbags went off, so the car was an economic total loss, however.
    These are great cars. The best sleeper car ever. Nobody thinks it will beat their high performance $100,000+ sports car, but it always does.
    The stereo sucked, though. If I ever get another one I would invest in a full blown custom aftermarket audio system or at least get a better head unit.

      @@itsn0ne0furbusinesswhereur38 oh haha I personally don’t own one but have a considerable amount of knowledge on these cars. My grandma has a 2014 (newest body style that was started in 2013) and her car has had absolutely 0 problems since the purchase after her older 2010 Taurus. She’s been driving Ford Taurus cars since the early 90s!! My mom has a Ford Explorer which has the same 3.5 liter v6 and similar interior. I highly recommend a newer Taurus as they have way nicer lights all around, and a better interior with more technology. If you do not like the infotainment center including many car controls, it’s unavoidable due to the fact they use the same infotainment center in the previous generation model (featured in this video). If you need any more information on the topic of these big beautiful cars, you know where to go! Thanks for reading my analysis and hopefully you can someday get a nice car like this.

    @slyguyaction That's because all people care about anymore is fuel economy instead of having a car that's actually fun to drive. This thing would destroy a Camry and an Accord in a race!! Plus it's a much more attractive car than the Camry. The Accord is pretty nice but I pick this over both of them any day. Plus my dad has one and I've driven it so I know how it feels on the road. It's a well built car and Ford has really stepped it up.

    @Sol_Divisive 12 років тому +1

    The rev limiter isn't really a problem. I've got a 2010 limited, and when you put the throttle to the floor it redlines at 7k or if you're in manual it'll go a bit past 7k before locking up

  • @mhtube01
    @mhtube01 13 років тому +3

    My dad has this car! Same color scheme and all except his has the 20 inch wheels which I personally like the look of better. Man this is one sharp car, I'm impressed with it. Exhaust sounds awesome too, especially when you rev it full throttle! I'm not crazy about some of the electronics but as far as a car goes, man this baby flies! Tons of power, lots of fun to drive with the paddles and has a sweet interior. Only downfall is the visibility in it isn't that great but all in all, it's awesome.

Videos were shoot in HD so they have good quality but uploaded in 480p so they'll be available quicker. Personally I'm ok with current quality of his videos. I won't complain about Kyle's effort, just name a car reviewer with comparable amount of uploads in HD on UA-cam.

We never had such car here in America, but at least Fiesta and Focus are being sold and next year the new Mondeo but it will came here under the Fusion nameplate because it's more recognizable than Mondeo over here.
    BTW: I'm from Mexico and we had the previous Mondeo available from 2001-2007. It was a very nice car. I currently own a Focus II from 2009 (neither were available in USA)

    @EDP407
    Not really, Taurus is a large car (comparable in size to a A6 or a E-Class) while Mondeo is a mid size car, North America has the Fusion in the mid size segment but it doesn't share anything with the Mondeo. But next generation Fusion will be basically the next Mondeo.
    BTW: Taurus is based on a Volvo platform (S80), that's the only European touch to it and maybe some exterior lines but it has nothing related to a European Ford.
