2011 Ford Taurus SHO Car Review
Tom Orlando recently reviewed the 2011 Ford Taurus SHO for Bullz-Eye.com. Find out what he had to say about the ride!
The Taurus SHO is back in a rebirth that brings serious power back to Ford’s flagship sedan. The 2011 Ford Taurus SHO AWD has an unassuming exterior but delivers impressive horsepower under the hood.
Exterior
According to Ford, “A key element of the authentic SHO formula is the subtlety of its unique exterior design cues. Features include sporty premium painted wheels wrapped in standard low-profile 19-inch Goodyear Eagle or optional 20-inch Michelin high-performance tires, a deck lid-mounted spoiler and twin chrome exhaust tips. The car also features a uniquely finished interpretation of the Ford signature three-bar grille with SHO-specific parking lamp bezels”. Our test model also boasted HID projector headlamps, supplemental park lamps with security approach lamps, securicode keyless entry and dual exhaust with chrome tips. Several folks that checked out the sterling gray metallic test car were surprised to learn it was a Taurus. Many were also impressed with the sporty look of the SHO even though it doesn’t stand out from the base Taurus or the Taurus Limited.
Interior
The interior of the 2011 Taurus SHO AWD has the size of a full size sedan with the accents of a sports car. Our model included charcoal black leather seating, 10-way power driver and passenger seats with lumbar and driver memory, Sony premium 12-speaker sound system, Sirius satellite system, SYNC voice activated system, dual electronic temperature control, tilt and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, ambient lighting, aluminum interior accents, aluminum gas and brake pedals, heated and cooled front seats, power moonroof, heated rear seats, rear window power sunshade and voice-activated navigation system. The leather trimmed seats with Miko suede inserts are made with recycled post-consumer yarns from plastic soft drink bottles and are comfortable and luxurious. When you add excellent trunk space to the feature list, the 2011 Taurus SHO AWD leaves little to be desired.
I test drive this car expecting a lot. The price is near 50 large, a lot for a taurus, I ended up buying a simiarly equipment Charger R/T for 18,000 less!
2011 Taurus SHO look like American full size sedan.It is a decent performer on road,with excellent suspension.It has eye-catching interior and shining exterior.This sedan accelerates from 0-60mph in just 6.6 sec.Along with these many safety measures are included.
I am a ford technician, I have hated the taurus no matter what trim level. That being said when the opportunity presented itself to get behind the wheel I was not enthused. After driving the SHO I was very impressed. It had the power and driveability that felt really good. I’m not a bleed blue kind of guy but the SHO was a comfortable quick car
2011 Ford Taurus SHO Car has very nice Exterior and Interior. It has amazing features like boasted HID projector headlamps, supplemental park lamp, driver memory, Sony premium 12-speaker sound system and many more which is really attractive
