2015 Ford Taurus SHO 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

We had a 1993 sho and we loved it. We started having children and needed a larger car. 288k on her 99' Expedition and I thought she would like a newer car, so I started looking at the newer models of the sho. We love it!! We now have 117,177 miles on the SHO. It had a wheel bearing go out on the right rear, but other than that, not one complaint.

2015 Ford Taurus SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

Bought used over 2 years ago with 54,000 miles and have put over 50,000 miles on the car in 27 months. It's comfortable with a big interior for my 3 boys, each right at 6 feet tall. Replaced back brakes and roters 2 weeks ago. There's an issue with the battery draining power at a rapid pace. Maintenance: Replaced battery almost 1.75 years ago and it went dead again last week. Getting battery saver message to turn off ignition. May be a problem with the computer system?

After driving a pickup truck for twelve years and liked driving nieces Taurus. I thought it was time in my life to enjoy driving a car that drove and looked nice. People are impressed with the look of the Taurus. Love my new ride.

Not the best in class, but definitely worth a look

We got our 2015 Ford Taurus on New Year's Eve, 2016, and so far it has been a good car. Starting with the exterior, our Tauruses last owner had fitted our Limited with the great-looking SHO wheels, and, combined with the exterior styling that has aged well, it looks really good. The 3.5L V6 is also pretty great as well, with good acceleration for a V6 at around 6.6 seconds, but fuel economy is definitely not the best. I average around 17 or 18mpg in the city, which is good, but not great. Also, it should be noted that the car will require a costly water pump repair at around 100,000 miles to keep the engine running well. Just know this isn't a car that will get you noteworthy fuel economy in the city. More problems arise with gas at the station, where the tank will never fill to capacity, only filling to about 13 of its 19-gallon tank. That makes you need to stop at the station a lot more. The transmission has a few quirks as well, most notably where sometimes the car will have a jolting shift when you let off the gas when the transmission wants to shift. Other than that, the Taurus is pretty put together mechanically and has been pretty reliable, as well as quick. Moving on to the interior, there are many things to note about this car. First is how you get in. The Taurus sits high, almost as high as a crossover, which makes it super easy to get in and out, especially if you get a Limited with the Easy Entry/Exit feature. Next, when you're in, the dash seems to jut out onto you, which looks pretty cool, and there are the touch-sensitive Sync controls, which aren't as bad as every car reviewer says. The controls are pretty easy to use, and after about a month or so of living with the Taurus, I knew exactly what to do. There are also voice commands to control many different things. As for legroom, the car is not as good in the rear as an Avalon or Impala, but the trunk is absolutely massive! On top of that, visibility is a concern, with a small rear window and big A and B pillars, but I fit well, and can see everything thanks to the blind spot mirrors that Ford put in. However, 5 foot 5 people or shorter might have a hard time getting comfortable in the car. Make sure to test drive before you buy! Overall, I believe this car is definitely worth a look, especially since now you can get a great deal on one since it has been canceled. Update: Water pump was replaced at 103k miles. I was quoted $6,000 at the Ford dealer, but found a local shop that did it much cheaper. When considering this car, you MUST keep the water pump and timing chains in mind. Lucky for me, I caught it before any damage was done.
