I would say although it’s a good price but it’s a car that has bad reputation for bad coolant systems so I’m weary of that.

Reviewed a 1989 Ford Taurus on Sep 17, 2008
Keep in mind, this was an SHO. Considered one of the first true American sport sedans. The 1989 was not encumbered by ABS, Airbags, and the like, so it was capable (according to Hot Rod) 0-60 in as little as 6.0 seconds. Not bad for a 3.0 normally aspirated V6. Engine specs were a Ford/Yamaha designed, Yamaha built, 3.0 litre 24-valve V6 that put out 220HP and 200lb./ft. or torque. It was a peaky engine, with most of its power coming on after the secondary intake valves opened at 3800 rpm. Still, with a rev limited 7600 rpm redline, you could reach freeway speeds in 2nd gear. Low end torque was boosted by the unequal length intakes. At low rpms, only one intake was open. It was fed through a long, thin manifold pipe the originated over the opposite cylinder bank. At 3800 rpm, a butterfly valve would open on the second intake, fed by a fat, short manifold pipe, originating over its own cylinder bank. The effect was fast moving air with some back pressure at low rpms, large volumes at high rpms. This had all of the bells and whistles that Ford offered in a car, at the time; automatic air, JBL audio with subwoofer, 6 way adjustable leather front seats, etc. There were a few quirks, being a first year model. The original clutch was too small, so the dealer replaced it with a one inch wider unit. The Goodyear Eagle GT plus 4 tires only lasted about 20,000 miles. But it was a blast to drive. It also had a tendency to break the front motor mount, if you drove it too hard. A/C compressors did not last long. An underdrive pulley is recommended if you want it to live. My best estimate was that I could get between 6.5 and 7.0 0-60's. I did not want to launch it at 3000 rpm, or I could have broken into the low 6's. The original Taurus was a decent handling car for a pedestrian sedan. The SHO took advantage of a solid base and added front and rear anti-roll bars, progressive rate springs, lowered the car one inch, four wheel disc brakes, and used silicon or solid bushings. The result was a car that had nice neutral handling. Push it to the edge and the tail would gently slide out. A little throttle and it would straighten out. It never got out of hand. Torque steer was apparent, but minimized by equal length half shafts. Despite the performance, the SHO regularly delivered 25 mpg in mixed freeway commuting. Avoiding rush hour could probably improve that. Plus, the SHO was the first American car certified as a low emission vehicle. As a result, it did not require many of the power robbing emission controls other engines were saddled with. It had been a fun car to drive, and it was always nice to launch past BMW's and other sport sedans in this "wolf in sheep's clothing". But, alas, after nearly 20 years, the old SHO is tired. The A/C compressor is once again dead, the front oil seal is leaking on the catalytic converter, the O2 sensors are shot, and yes, I broke the front motor mount. Plus, I think the fuel pump is about to seize up. It is now resting comfortably in the driveway, having given way to a commuter econo-box, while I sit and ponder its fate. Perhaps the old wolf will rise again, don its sheep costume, and go up against the youngsters. Maybe this time with a 315HP upgrade.

Why it stands out
The 2015 Ford Taurus stands out as a roomy full-size sedan with a long-running reputation for comfort and value. By this point in the Taurus’s sixth generation, Ford had already given the car a more attractive design than its earlier, more pedestrian look, and the model’s appeal was broadened by its spacious cabin and multiple powertrain choices. For buyers who wanted a practical large sedan, that combination made the Taurus easy to live with and easy to recommend.
The 2015 model year also benefited from the sixth-generation updates that had already been introduced, including the refreshed grille and front fascia, updated suspension, and the latest version of Ford’s Sync and MyFordTouch infotainment software. The Taurus Limited could be equipped with advanced safety features such as blind-spot warning with cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning with brake support. The Taurus SE and SEL were also well equipped for the class, which helped the car feel substantial even in lower trims.
There were tradeoffs, though. The Taurus was described as having pedestrian performance in non-SHO form, and its technology was considered outdated. Still, for shoppers prioritizing space, comfort, and a straightforward large-sedan experience, the 2015 Ford Taurus offered a compelling mix of practicality and features.
