SHO is the way to go

This car is amazing all around. We wanted an 18 but they are twice the price of the 16. And the 16 we bought looks almost exactly the same with low miles. We have a 2001 Crown Vic LX with 275000 miles on it and still going strong. We love it. So we figured we would get the new generation police car lol. I love Ford cars and will continue to stay loyal. This car has every feature and then some. I'd say Fully loaded for sure. Handles like a dream and has some serious giddy up .

I have been driving large SUV for 30 years Because I needed leg room I'm tall 6'3" and needed to drive in Bad weather. I'm retired now , Wanted a car, Was Concerned about poor visibility on the side and rear. I guess because I'm tall I do not have that trouble. But backing up into a parking space could be bad if not for the back up cam. It is a saver. Car is very comfortable to drive Although my trips are short so far. I also like the keyless entire and push button start. the car unlocks to enter and locks itself when I walk away. Car looks great love the wheels come with it (down side is it had summer tires) Gas mileage I think should be better for having Turbo's I have found very little to complain about And I would say If you are looking for a car in this body style to at least test drive one I think you will like it.

This car is sharp looking and has a classic look. It is roomy and comfortable. With heated seats and a sunroof it is fun to drive in all seasons. The trunk is huge and easily accessible from both inside and out. It is too bad Ford will be discontinuing the Taurus as it looks and acts like a luxury sedan at half the price. Depreciation seems to be greater than similar cars.

I always buy ford cars. The Taurus is the best ford car. I’ve owned it since, April 2018. Except for oil changes, the Taurus has not been to the shop not even once. Dependable.
