Today, I went to test drive the new Ford Taurus SHO and it is a big improvement from all the luxury cars ford has to offer. The ride was very quite and confortable and of course the horsepower was awesome for a family sedan.
The model I tested was advertised at MSRP 45,000. Ford did alot to the new Taurus, by adding alot of luxury features both driver and passenger side power seats, they also come with 19" wheels and rear camera. The new Microsoft SYNC system is awesome compared to the earlier years.
When I placed the car in REVERSE the screen in the front dash would change so I could see where I was backing up into. Pretty neat feature.
There is no more need for a key it is push start button now and the Taurus come with paddle shifters which worked pretty well. In the manual position I was able to redline until I hit one of the paddles to shift gears. One more feature that caught my attention was the built in Radar System. When in cruise control it senses the change of speed of the vehicles in front of you and you do not have to use the resume or accelerate or decelerate buttons.
The New Navigation System allows you to change views to anything you want.. I was in the BIRD's EYE View..
Overall the car is very nice and ride better than the SHELBY. The acceration is fun to have and will make for competition.. I give it 3:thumb
