I love this car. When I drove it the first time, I fell in love. After 20k, I still love it. From the outside, I never realized how huge this car is. It wasn't until I sat next to other cars. It made them look tiny - and, if you have a lot of luggage, this is the car you need. The trunk is awesomely big. For zipping around, I drive a 3 Liter VW EOS. Great engine and tuning, but stuff in the cockpit loosens up. Door panel fell off, the visor screws fell out. There's "German Engineering" for you. I love driving it, though. It's zippy.
Im for sure getting this as the next full size car. i have a compact car but this will be next and i like how American car companies such as Ford have really stepped up their design, power, and showing it gives more to what people want. Packed with technology, and all that honda offers with their touchscreen is just a rear back up camera and to 'touch' different radio stations, there is no compared way to say what is better. Also i dont really care about the price. as i long as i can afford the monthly payments then im fine with it. when i buy a car, i buy it to keep it. im not those people to trade it in after 5-6 years..that is such a waste of an investment for me and anyone that does that. I always believe in that phrase 'you get what you pay for', and if you want a typical car with just a/c, a radio, and four wheels buy a corolla, but if you want something that can integrate with your life and give you much more than expected then buy it..i also buy American and i will always...go USA!
I bought my today step on the gas an scared the hell out of me and i had a 425 horse Hemi 69 i was impressed
Less than a month i got my 2014 SHO and fell in love real fast. I came from a 2011 328 BMW and never thought I would leave BMW but the same power as a 335 but cheaper with all options. Such a awesome car, only thing is the stereo is not up to pat for me I'm the loud department but excellent quality.
I'm glad Ford didn't change much for 2014. I got 1 2013 SHO about 8 months ago and I absolutely love it. Everything you said is right on. The car drives like a true sports car; you can't tell you are in a 4300 lb limo. And with 93 octane I get 19-20 MPG city and 26-27 MPG highway. Mine is also in Tuxedo Black and it is the nicest paint I have seen in person.
A very good and full review real nice job, thank u!
It is too much fun to be considered work! :-)
Hope you enjoyed the vid!
Very nice car! i just took one on a long trip, decent fuel economy, handles quite well.
2 thumbs up.
We use a couple of cameras. Our primary camera is a Sony DSC-H300. We use that camera for when we are walking around the vehicle. The interior driving shots are taken with a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition mounted to the windshield by suction cup... Hope this helps!
That is very helpful, Thank you so much! Good day!
I bought a black 2014 SHO 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it.
46 thousand wow wait 2 years and get it for 25 lol
Shut up you crazy old bat.
True I got a wrecked 2015 detective cruiser with leather and chrome same dive train with 20,000 miles after i fixed it i have 12,000$ in it. I have had a few offers for 15000$ I have to sell it and pay off some land. I love the car, a water pump job is 2000$. I am a chevy ls man they are bullet proof and parts are cheap.
I got me a 2015 with all the features for $25.000. I love this car. It's a shame doesn't make them anymore. American muscle is a totally different animal from Japanese a European cars.
@@findingdeondre Less than 30k for 9k they are smocking crack buy it.
Yep, I just picked up an 18 SHO for about that Fabulous car
Great review, subscribed. Seriously considering this car and I have a Dodge Challenger SRT8, 2013, but with 3 young kids the 4 doors would be handy.
Alex Taylor-I hear your pain about having kids with a two door car.I remember putting a toddler in and out of an early Honda Civic.Pure hell!
When I was 16 in '95, my father took me to the Ford store intending on getting me a '95 Explorer Limited. When the ink dried, I was heading home in a '95 SHO. Emerald/jewel green with tan leather throughout and all of the boxes checked on it. Nice power front seats (driver and passenger), great acceleration it had and a awesome growl when it started up and accelerated. He was given a good deal on the SHO because they said that it was sitting there on the showroom floor for too long, and the new Taurus was coming in soon. That's when the Taurus turned into that hideous ovoid shape. My SHO was short lived because my cousin got it into an accident. She said that there was this bright fluorescent green liquid flowing out from under it, and the airbags did not deploy. My father had it bedded to a shop to be fixed. Since the SHO was not available for me anymore, my father went out and came home and handed me the keys to a '95 Toyota Land Cruiser in Moonglow Pearl. When the SHO was finished finally, it cost $15k to fix 😮! Since I had the Land Cruiser, he took the SHO and donated it to a charity organization and received a tax credit of some kind. I did love my SHO when I had it, the Land Cruiser was safer though. I graduated from HS in '96, but by then I was driving a new Lexus LX450 in cashmere beige metallic.
tc tv- great review and im glad you showed the window sticker- getting the SHO w/o the perfermance package- how much of a difference in perfermance are we talking about?
Good jab man👍
What a beautiful vehicle
Keep it up.......
good review
So i got a 12 sho. Anyone else wondering when they are going to drop the3.5 ecoboost in a mustang from the factory. God they dont realize how many sells they are missing out on
thanks for the review- trying to figure out if the SHO I'm looking at is a legit performance package or not. Hard telling with the 2014's.
I have a 2010 and all i want is the remote start, rims, and the grill other then that...i love my Sho
I thought the 10 had remote start
That is the same thing that makes me want this car. I’m saving up for one right now
@@lil.d.6609 I've had my SHO for almost 9 years now and I'm still in love with it..lol
This is an old comment 😂
I love this car especially the police interceptors.
1210saad Yes this car looks amazing as a police car. I love it too, plus my sheriff department here just got a couple of them. I saw one the other day and I fell in love with it, lol!
Hahaha thats sick.
Gavin Smith Your police department only got them 4 months ago? Jesus, do you live in the land that time forgot?
Jacob Baird No, I talked to the Sheriff a while ago about it, but he said that it wouldn't work out well because my Sheriff department has a lot of taller heavier built men. And as for the exact time they got them, I have no clue. I just happened to see one at the scene of an accident. They do however have a lot of the Ford Utilities, several are used for K-9. Also, police department is different than the sheriff, just saying.
Okay.
Nice review. Please do a vs. Chevy ss

Did that change with the model update? Because everywhere I have looked they suggest premium only in the ecoboost engines. I have a 2010 myself and I only put premium in.
The grille and front end are sick !
I adore my '14 Limited, its been one of the best cars I have owned. Great tech, quality interior, very safe, great on gas, lots of power and drives like a Lincoln on the highway. If you looking for one used I highly suggest a 2013+ models as a lot improved. I would really try to consider looking for one that is as loaded as you find, a base Limited at the least. I crossed shopped 4 other full size cars, Avalon, 300, Impala and Charger. The material quality in the interior were no match with the Ford. The ride was so much more balanced, it was to sporty, to harsh or to soft like the others I found. It does it all right.
Sleeper!!!
I love my 2013 SHO, besides a few hiccups from the car, it is fun and luxurious. After putting only 2800 miles on the car the torque convertor started to go out, luckily the car warned me with the yellow wrench and check engine light. Turns out, from what i was told, it was on the list from ford for a recall. Anyways, fun and nice car to own IF you can afford it!
Is there anything visually different from the sho to the regular sel of limited editions? Are all the character lines and everything the same? Cause I was just looking at a limited and something about it just looked different. Couldn't put my finger on it
I'll take one
I have a 2013. Few mild mods and I'm close to 400 hp
this car is super nice
Love this car I'll take 3 please
Pretty nice car for a Ford! Me like!
Have they done anything to address the shifts from the transmission? I've read complaints from multiple sources that the vehicle will ignore manual input and often change gears on its own despite no input from the paddle shifters.
The seats have been basically the same since it was introduced in 2010. You are right, there is not much "bucket" to them. The only upgrade to the seats has been the Active Motion part. Thanks for the kind words!
i want to learn more and about the extra important features brakes radiator etc. i am concerned about the weight and blind spot and reliability but i think your onto something chevy i dont believe has competion acura does trade off weight power reliability and infinity i want to learn more
you have a fun job lol... well it looks fun
1995 sho Taurus was a badass
OK vry nice review!!! awesome car!!! i think it outboosts my VW CC 2.0T BUT why does the dahboared only SHOW a 140MPH??? thats DOWN like bad, my CC marks 180, and has a smaller engine n less power whats UP
Swiss Choco try to get it to 180 and tell me how that goes
the first gen SHO was a beast
Not sure but the value of the 96-99 gen and the 00-(I think 06 or 7?) just fell like a rock
Luv the car, but not for $46,000. $39,000 to $41,000 tops. This MAY be my next car. Re-sale value of the Ford is my biggest concern. For me, It'd be between this or the Infiniti Q-50 all wheel drive or the Acura TL all wheel drive. Tuff choice. I think the SHO probably wins the fun factor by far though.
just bought one sho with everything payed 38920 before taxes msrp: 48390. they are going crazy low right now
Christopher Torres Sweet!:) Enjoy:)
Christopher Torres and used tehy're going even lower. i've seen some SHO's with 10000 miles for 33k fully equipped. not sure why they're going so low, they're crazy popular around here. (not the SHO's but taurus in general)
There are available with big incentives that bring them down into the mid 30's. Used are even better bargains and many were owned by older drivers who probably didn't abuse them.
Can u tell me what type of camera model and brand that u use to shoot this video and is the camera mounting tools also come with the camera or buy separately? If so can u also tell me the name and model? Thx.
My dream car
I have 2013 by awd no need to dream hope you have one someday
My grandmother just got the red one on Friday
I really like the Taurus SHO & think it looks great everywhere except for the rear of the car. I just can't get used to it. It's jacked up & looks huge from the rear. The 2013 restyle helped slightly, but I still don't like the back. The MKS EcoBoost looks much better from the rear IMO. Everything else about the SHO= Awesome!
Needs some headers on the exhaust for sure.
could you please do 0-60 in the ford raptor roush and the taurus sho ?
i love ford. i only buy ford and for my next car i want a raptor roush
If I could get someone to finance me I would take one in a heart beat. I got to rent one and oh my god I love it
I know but it is about due for a refresh, I hope the next gen isn't so euro style, but knowing Ford, it will be.
i wil go tu buy 1 now
good road review and road test but that rear view mirror sucks
friend has one and with a tune we hit 60 in 4.4
Maitre Ying Lol
These cars have grown on me somewhat. Hated them at first but looking at them now they’re okay. I still prefer the Impala premier both inside and out but granted the engine is only good for 305 HP not 365 like the SHO
One main thing, " keep a maintenance on your ptu, fluid change often, like 15,000 or so
Great review and video. You use the phrase "nice little thing right there" extensively. Not a big deal of course, as I loved the video, but a little more variety in phrases might help you in future videos.
Okay, now that I'm done with that..have the front seats changed much in the last 3 years in the SHO? I almost bought one 3 years ago, but slid around in my seat way too much in curves that it killed all the driving fun I was having.
This is a so fucking badass car!. Too bad we dont have that in Brazil. I will have to buy ford fusion AWD xD.
احب السياره ذي ياناس
0-60 time ?
As a matter of fact i suggest those simple additions to anyone with a ford with an ecoboost motor regardless of the vehicle as long as its turbocharged grab a boost controller crank it up a few pounds...then if ya wanted 3inch down pipe intercooler and a blowoff valve just for the bad ass sound go to your ford forums find a tune for your vehicle download it to your car programmer and flash it to that sob if one doesnt come with the vehicle specific programmer already and enjoy your animal just watch out for new cadillac cts v sports with the same add ons..
Why is the car leaking!?
This sucks im stuck with the 2010 and now they look so much better and remote start....wth i wish i would have waited now
definitely a nice car. if only it came with a real manual transmission !!
And a eco boost 5.0
I 100% agree!!!!!!
i heard and hope it is true that ford is ditching the myford touch system as it has been a disaster. they need to bring back actual buttons and knobs because touchscreen sucks. to think the tutorial is actually over an hour long on how to use the thing is ridiculous too.
Funny how Yahoo stated the taurus as the worst full sized sedan. Its a really nice car if you ask me, but 47k is way outta my price range. Nice video.
it's amazing what these can do with just an intake, exhaust and tune. In my top running for next car now that my 400whp mazdaspeed 3 has outgrown my family size
Man not too long ago Bmw mercedes and audi where charging 100k for the 745-750i A8 E550 S500-550... That where pushing 300-310-345 hp and that was beast mode now you got your non high performance v6 caddy/ford pushing 365/420hp..ridiculous go america
everything is good, nice video, try not to use the word nos(NICE in your accent ) in your next video.
And you could have shown the new lane changing-driver assist technology practically..!
I'm a Ford Nut, but these wheels make me wanna punch some one in the nuts.
We'll done video
What about that water pump
Hey guy you do realize that ford states do not accelerate the way you just did twice in the video or the 50 other times off cam till the vehicle has over 1,000 miles at least!!!! That thing probably has 14miles on it the engine needs to be broken in gently..i mean shit even if you give it 400-750 miles.. I know first hand co owner of a lincoln dealership
negative- this also depends on many factors- and most important would be the oil change at 1000 k -that would be for the raptor, mustang and hp engines. sorry dont consider this vehicle as "HP" and accelerating in this manor is acceptable. cruise control, long idle times etc are also factors.
finally, if you are a co owner of a lincoln dealer and i come in to buy a 50k mkz, do you think im not going to step on the gas for 0-60?? if you told me not to, you lost a sale.
you want to buy this house, ok, just dont turn on the hot water cause the pipes are new LOL
I love the new SHO except for one thing that really bothers me. I hate how it's all jacked up in the rear. If it were even 1" lower it would look so much better IMO. It's an amazing looking car other than that. Nice review as well.
I owned a 1st gen '89 SHO and a 3rd gen. Great cars... too bad this one is out of my price range.
this one is twin turbocharged. did you not watch the video?
Rorbert Williamson
gotcha
those aint fog lights.... im fixing that problem on mine
With the opening door thing wouldn't somebody be able to steel that easy
Sorry friend, your background music drowns out your review. Cut it out, will you?
pretty much...
Pretty disappointed with the "performance package." Come on Ford, at least add some stiffer suspension components or something.
should of got this sho instead of limited
I have a 2011 the thing I like best is to take people for a ride and snap their necks off the line and see the look on their face! They are like WTF this is not a Taurus !!!!!
Should have lived through the 90s and had a 1st gen. It was way more unbelievable especially when you sent a mustang GT driver home with their head down.
New Ford GT won 24 hours of Lemans GTE same engine in the SHO still want to mess with it
next time road test remove the inside rear view mirror or put the camera lower so we can see the road.
Like he's gonna remove the rear view mirror on a car he's test driving for a review lol. You say it like its an easy thing to do
Isn't this the exact same car that the ford interceptor is?
stgz13 Yes the new police interceptors are the Ford Taurus.
xtravagentK I know, I just mean is it the same engine, hp, ext
stgz13 Yes.
All the taurus interceptors have the shifter on the column
1-Not an easy car to drive. still has that body roll
2-still has those annoyances that steam from a product that isn't properly refined. Mostly via electrical.
3-It's a heavy car, and the V6 works hard to move that body around. The turbo's really don't much for the performance
4-The car is about 20k over priced.
5.Sync is teriabiile
6.Navigation system is in dire need of work.
You don't know much about the car. The body roll is very minimal and the Ecoboost can get this thing 0-60 in about 5 seconds.
You realise this cars faster than older mustsngs right
"The turbo's really don't much for the performance"
That right there tells me aky has no clue what he's talking about.
Cyberdactyl prove me wrong.
CoryCDS key word...OLD mustangs.
Well atleast if you bought the first addition that came out you can swap out grills wheels tail lights because the 2013 makes the first models look fugly shit id change hoods bumpers headlights tail lights what ever it took cuz this shit looks bad ass..older people goto Ebay and search for a Ford Sho Boost controller hook it up too your vehicle like a code reader...and turn the boost up too 25-30 psi or 7-15 psi higher than stock then go take it for a drive and have ya minds blown then if you want upgrade the intercooler and waste gate to a sequential hks bov.. Or a multi settig one simple mods takes minutes to install and you could literally reach 450-600hp which in a awd sedan like this is god damn nuts
but won't turning up the boost that high cause some problems?
You can't drive that car in under 40F because of the summer tires.
if we are being honest the lane maintaining thing is to help drunk drivers 😂
Thats good you like BMW more than the SHO.....go post elsewhere. He said he loved his SHO and that it had everything HE wanted vice a underpowered stereo, but accepted it. Go post somewhere else with your negativity towards him and the SHO.
Damn, how quickly it would LOSE value.
The Chevy SS is better with its V8, Brembo brakes and great handling. It's around the same price as well.
***** The SHO is AWD, from a digg this car will whoop the SS.
+Welfare Bandit Lol ok. The SS has 50 more horsepower and ways 400 pounds less. SS 0 - 60 4.5 seconds, SHO 0-60 5.1 seconds. Sit down fanboy.
***** Not a fanboy; just made a misinformed assumption. I would much rather be driving a Charger since I like its styling better when compared to the SS; The Taurus will be releasing a new trim, possibly an RS and it's already going to be lighter and faster with its 2016 model. We'll see. I personally don't prefer GM products simply because my family has owned them and they are nothing but problems. The only good GM product in my family is my 97 Sierra; too bad they don't make them like they used to.
Welfare Bandit Do you have a reputable source for the new taurus trim? Also you stated isolated cases. Chevy and GMC are ranked 10th and 11th respectively out of 31 for reliability according to JD power, while dodge is at 27/30. I also hate that statement about cars :"too bad they don't make them like they used to.'
You're damn right they don't. Now they are safer, more fuel efficient, make more power and have better interiors.
***** They could be number one, If I tend to have bad experience with something I tend to avoid it after if I was going by that then I'd stick to Toyota/Lexus/Scion. I said why I don't buy GM never did I say no one else should. You shouldn't care so much about what others prefer.
If you like GM then more power to you I hear their new Camaro for 2016 is amazing and I agree but I'd never buy one.
As for a reputable source for a TRS I don't have one; I said possibly since Ford already confirmed a Fiesta RS and since Ford did say that they were going to give us 20 new trims from now to 2020 I can't imagine there not being one for the Taurus as well.
The SHO is going to be lighter and quicker for 2016 however; that much is a fact.
$46K?! Fuck that.
Got a 2014 with 9000 miles on it for $27,000, signed the paperwork yesterday, I also have a 2014 Limited! I love these cars.
'96 VR-4 Spyder Never buy a SHO new because they depreciate very fast. You can get used 2014 SHO for $35K-$38K with low miles.
?
Suede headliner???!?!?!? Uhh nvm
Got a 2013 with 50k miles for 14k
Yea but not when this video was made 😊
@@tennaj1367 nope but I’m 22 and content 😇
Sorry I didn't mean it that way. LOL ,.I was saying that it would cost you more WAY more than 14K back when this video was made. You got a good deal on your SHO with only 50K on it . Enjoy : )
love it who here is rich enuff to buy me one you know the type of rich you won't miss the money what so ever and will die of old age with a shit load of money still in your bank but you was to greedy to give it to ppl who needed it even tho you will never use it in your life yeah where's them ppl at thay need to buy me one lol hope you all liked how i put that that's someing like peter from famly guy would say lol
The only issue I have with my 14 SHO is it is to quiet
Endre Bujtas intake and exhaust.
I am a Ford fan please note my user name,its Fords best car ever built the Focus RS500, but I am really disappointed with American Fords, almost all of American Ford cars are crap,even now Ford is selling more Fiestas and Focus and Escape and Fusion than homegrown Taurus,Flex,etc,Y simply because Euro cars have better quality and betters American cars in every department,pulled up BMW here cuz within 2-3 years BMW will release 3 series in price range of Taurus,RIP 2015 Taurus unless its RWD
germans cant compete in price
