I like that I can put my family in the car and no that we are going to make it to are destination and back. Real easy to drive, with a sporty feet to it. Very fun to drive.
My favorite feature is the sunroof, love it open on a nice warm evening.Mar 28, 2015

Acceleraton was good for the type of car and size of engine 3.0L V6, braking was
good disk breaks all around for that year. Handled well.
It was built solid, with one issue trans gaskets wear after two years.
The appearance was better that the previous generation. As you can see in my
pic, I didn't like it looking like others.
I loved driving this jokerNov 14, 2011

the Taurus has great reliability and handling but the 3.0L Vulcan lacks in power and acceleration its is however a vary comfortable and safe ride it is a great family car but also makes a BA sleeper i hope to keep mine for awhile Sep 01, 2011

3.0L Yamaha engine, Borla cat-back exhaust. 5 speed transmission. The style is deceiving. Fast car but it looks like Grandma's grocery getter. The only downside is maintenance. Not a lot of people will work on them so you end up doing a lot of the work yourself.Nov 18, 2010

Oh the good old SHO Taurus, my first car. It was fun to drive and pretty damn quick. But unfortunately its life ended abruptly accross the street from La Familia... on my way back from getting my hard license from court. Have you ever seen the poll across the street from the La Familia that is keeled over... yup thats me :). I have left my mark in Deep Creek. P.S. I am not responsible for the house that someone wrecked into next to my poll. Jan 06, 2010

The performance is basic, but nice. power steering is amazing. It can hardly handle off roading, but it gets me where i need to go. gas mileage is not too bad. It's not all that expencive to maintain either. it's very roomy inside.Nov 24, 2009

PIECE OF JUNK, very ugly, fell apart, and the transmission was HORRIBLE. Barely shifted gears. Motor was strong, but everything else was horrible. The car did get decent gas mileage on the highway, i would say around 29 or 30 MPG. Sep 09, 2009

Unfortunately this was the last year you could get a manual transmission in the SHO's . This was a fantastic car. Ford had pretty much fixed the majority of the problems with the Taurus SHO, and then completely changed the entire vehicle. High revving V-6, gone, manual transmission, gone, performance, gone. Oh well, Ford will be coming out with another version of the SHO soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed.Jul 22, 2009

When the taurus was stock i thought the same as others but as i got into them it came about to the SHO and the LX interior.
Little things here and there make the car a one and only.
there is body work to buy and interior to buy.Feb 18, 2009

That car was the best ever! Looked like the average "mom" car, however, it had the stuff! 5-speed, all the bells and whistles! It would flat get up and move...never any issue to get up to speed(ing) on the ramps. Even though it was a sedan, my teenaged boys liked to drive it.Oct 25, 2008

WOW. What can I say about my SHO. It was a great car that I miss and kick myself for deciding to sell. A true 4DSC (4 Door Sports Car) with the mighty Yamaha designed/built 3.0 DOHC V6 with a 5 speed manual transmission. The sound of the secondaires opening up and the rush to the 7200 RPM Fuel cut off was addicting! I do feel like an adict during withdrawl.Sep 15, 2008

This car's great, maybe it's not the best on gas with it's V6 Yamaha SHO engine, but it can win you just about any drag you enter. Strong handling, great factory sound kit and power windows, locks and sunroof, it's one of the rarest and best production cars to come out of 1995Aug 29, 2008

great car, engine runs like a champ, over 100k miles, needs her maintenance sure, but its a great car overall. It has dings and dents and my exhaust is loud, but it runs good for the most part. watch out for later on when you develop valve ticks and keep up on maintenance and car will last over 200k miles with proper careAug 17, 2008

It was a great car...except for the fact that it ws breaking down all the time. My car had been kept in a garage by the previous owner for over a year. Unfortunately we didn't know this until after we realized the power steering lines had dry-rotted. It performed wonderfully though! Repairs tend to be half-again as expensive compared to most other cars.Aug 12, 2008

this car is the bomb. even though its 13 years old, and only has 220 hp, 200 ft-lbs, itll hold its own against many brand new cars. this car can hit 60 in around 6.5 seconds. not bad for a front-wheel-drive car with this low of power.
the car is roomy, comfortable, and fast. the engine is superb. the 3.0L V6 was a collaboration between Ford and Yamaha. with its 7400rpm redline and butterfly intake that actuates at 4000rpm, the car is extremely quick. though its naturally aspirated, it pulls like some turbocharged vehicles ive seen.
my SHO also has a $1300 Quaife limited slip differential. this differential puts it ahead of many other front-wheel-drive vehicles... even other SHOs. this differential allows my car to launch well, and even continue to apply power to the pavement through curves.
i love this car, and would buy another in a heartbeat.Aug 07, 2008

I have beat the crap out of this car and it keeps going, its great, though it needs work and is questionable for how long it will keep working, the transmission slips and every once in a while sticks in first, the struts are shot and are expensive (around $900 parts and labor) but even with everything it keeps running, the radiator cracked a while back, but that was fixed with some stop leak (it was actually the water holding tank), I have had to replace the thermostat, and the AC has died but its still a pretty good car. it has been run for around 140k miles and many times has gone on dirt roads and been bounced and beat.Jul 19, 2008

Owned since 1999. These cars do not have good resale value and the 3.8L motor had a bad reputation for blowing the head gasket. Mine was replaced under warranty. The engine is a real bear to work on. Replaced shocks/suspension, motor mounts, starter (twice), water pump, fan belt, muffler, and various pulleys. Car has been generally reliable but I've had to have it towed three times over last 8 years. Overall build quality can't compare to the imported Japanese cars I've owned. Rear seat leg room is not adequate for adults, despite the car's large size. Mar 02, 2008

I love this car so much and ppl call me crazy. this is the best body of the 3 SHO generations. This car has A 3.0L DOHC Yamaha engine with 220HP and 200 foot pounds. The car also came with a 3.2L but that was for the automatics and the autos had its share of problems. This car can do 140+ from factory and get 28mpg on the highway(i can personally vouch for both of these). Its bigger than the mustang but as long as the mustang isn't a cobra or have a H/O 5.0 this car will toast them.Feb 02, 2008

95 ford Taurus power shutting off when turning key
My car wouldn't start or power up so I replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, battery terminals, and got a new battery. Now the power works fine. When I turn the key over to crank the car, it doesn't crank at all and all of the power shuts off. It won't come back on at all until I wiggle the battery terminal some. Then it does the same thing after I try and crank it again. Does anyone know what this could be?
