I know the Taurus is mentioned a lot in the form of a SUV. But what about the sedan version. Let's discuss that here.

This latest model is the coolest Taurus ever.

 

Generally the Taurus is not appreciated, but simply tolerated.

After being one of the world's most rented cars, only the SHO generates much appreciation, and that by but a select few, fewer still of who linger here......

 

When the wife and I went on our honeymoon last October, we got a free upgrade on our rental car and ended up with a brand new 2012 Taurus. Only had 100 miles on it so I think we were probably the first people to rent it. That was definitely one nice ride. It was the first car I had driven with the paddle shifters on the steering wheel, which was kind of cool even though I didn't really get the hang of it in the few days we had the car.

One Taurus I wouldn't mind having is a 92-95 SHO.

 

The original SHO may become a costly collectable after this:

'92-'95 is better looking imo.

 

I had a 1999 Taurus station wagon from 1999-2010. I loved that car to death. It very reliably and economically moved my family all around the east coast. Both of my daughters learned how to drive in that car and I eventually gave it to my oldest daughter who drove for another 2 years.

My Taurus was one of the most trouble free cars that I've ever owned. It had the 3.0L 24V engine. 22 mpg mixed and 29 on the highway.
