Test Drive: 2011 Ford Taurus SHO

VOICE OVER: Miranda Lightstone

There's no denying it; the Ford Taurus SHO (pronounced show, but it's actually an acronym for Super High Output) is a big car. Inside and out, everything about this vehicle is large; and that works well for the vehicle. This isn't meant to be a nimble, little hatch. Ford designed a sedan to be both comfortable to sit in and comfortable to drive. And with plenty of funky technological gadgets, comfort is ensured. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com gets behind the wheel of the SHO to check out its unique features and see how it handles itself compared to some sportier models.

The Ford Taurus is a big car (I think we’ve established that by now), however, it’s quite quick on its wheels for all that size. With a 3.5-liter V6 twinturbo EcoBoost engine, the SHO pushes out 365 horsepower, and it shows on the road. The AWD also helps give the car stability in the corners, despite its size.

With a 6-speed automatic transmission with available sport shift (which you have to select on the gear lever before you can change gears with the big, unsightly paddle shifters on the steering wheel), the Ford Taurus SHO isn’t the most exciting car to drive in the world, but it’s not bad either. If you’re looking for a sedan that’s more like a small crossover in interior space/size, then look to the SHO.
