Costing about five grand more than the SE, these Taurus versions allow drivers to ride on authentic leather seats, embrace the comfort of race inspired paddle shifters and listen to countless hours of programming on the SIRIUS-ready sound system.

 

Other upgraded features include backup sensors, a rear facing bumper camera and indirect interior lighting. All the rage these days is the SYNC system that interacts with the driver’s phone and links direction-finding, stereo controls, and phone features with the driver’s voice.

 

Getting out of the typical sedan style, Ford unleashes the Taurus SHO. This performance version has all of the features drivers expect from a muscle car, especially under the hood. The 3.5 liter EcoBoost engine can keep up with any car on the highway and yet delivers a respectable 25 miles per gallon. Stylish true dual exhaust tips shine out from the rear bumper and the race proven AWD system guarantees safe driving in all extremes. The SHO has a race inspired suspension and aerodynamics package that makes this car ride like a well-tuned sports car. Don’t worry about nighttime or rainy day visibility. The SHO includes HID headlights that keep the road [in view even in bad weather|turn the blackest night into virtual daylight].

 

From the base level SE all the way up to the rubber-burnin’ SHO, the 2011 Ford Taurus is a great value and great fun to own.
