  • Yamaha SHOs review - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    The SHO comes with a love/hate relationship. My 95 SHO has been a great car until my stupidity spun a rod bearing. The car is capable of beating supercars with a few modifications. The car takes very well to boost. On a stock motor with a Vortech T-trim supercharger, I produced 460hp. This car is not a great car for someone who does not have the knowledge, willingness to learn nor money to maintain it. Many of these cars have been beaten and show problems because of it (as with the case of my 92 SHO). On the flip- side, it has honed my skills quite well. This is definitely an enthusiasts car. Somehow I got hooked many years ago and I still have my SHOs, but have a Civic now too.

  • Excellent Car - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Excellent car with great comfort and stying, although fuel mileage and capacity could be much improved.

  • weak performance - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Transmission always clunked or slipped. Rebuilt one is better. Small things always break interior door handles, speedometer, power door locks, etc. Poor gas mileage and alignment needs adjusting annually.

  • Great Value - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    The car has been very reliable with only minor troubles since I bought it cam sensor, starter and heater door control. Parts are not hard to find if you use the internet for your searches. Some dealers still have plenty of parts. The Yamaha engine is fantastic, simply the best in any vehicle Ive had to date. Keep up with the maintenance and the car will last a long time.

  • Not bad but not good - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    This car is a decent car but is not good at anything. It is somewhat comfortable but has bad gas milage, can go fast easily but takes a while, works usually but often will have many minor problems, drives ok but often rattles, shakes, vibrates, Braking system stinks as i have replaced entire rear system and it has broken again. Car has good trunk room but seats dont fold down. Transmision occassionally clunks and misses shifts, etc. Overall its not a bad car, however usually a car has one thing it is good at stopping, going, gas economy, comfort, quietness, or something else, but this car is just mediocre at all of those things.

  • Shes been a good girl - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I bought my green 95 at the dealership I worked at in college. We went back and forth from Penn State a lot and she has always been good. I have 16" wheels from a 2002, and clear headlights from an LX, big improvement she looks great, minimal problems (starter, radiator, little trim pieces). I lease a 2004 Sable but wont give up the 95, she handles great, decent power, and looks new as can be it is one of the best looking 95s youll see running around. Bought it with 45,000 miles from my uncle, now has about 85,000. I just put in good Pioneer Speakers and Sony Headunit, the stereo sounds better than my Sable. I LOVE HER!

  • Always runs, but always has many problems - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    This car which I bought with 112,000 miles on it, has about 119,000 in 5 months and since then I had to flush all fluids, change stereo, previous owner blew all speakers, new exhaust, master cyllinder and brake booster. Car now needs complete rear brake system overhaul, a radiator, door seals, plugs and wires, headlight covers (sun damaged plastic), a door lock motor, headlight and seatbelt dinger, a battery, tires, and soon will need rotors and pads in front as well as alternator, fuel, water and power steering pump acting up. Car has always started but does not ever function right. Gas mileage is horrible.

  • Head Gasket Problem - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    My very first car. Power everything and I thought it was great. Until I found out I had the 3.8 engine with the head gasket problem! Was a great car until that started acting up. Had to put rear brakes and tires into it and now it looks like it needs shocks or struts because it is terrible going over pot holes and speed bumps. If you buy a Taurus make sure it is not a 3.8 engine between 1994-1999 in Taurus, Windstar, Thunderbird, and some other cars Ford has made.

  • This was my baby - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I bought my Ford Taurus very slightly used in 1995, from a rental car agency. I was 19, and this car was awesome. Lots of power under the hood, all the nice power features, roomy for friends, and a nice size trunk. Its now 2004, Im 28, and ready for a change. This car has been extremely reliable, until this year. Before now, I never ran into any problems, and I got my moneys worth at $10,000, 9 years ago. This year Ive put at least $1200 in brakes, new radiator, and a battery. Not bad, since its only needed minor work a few times in the past. I think it would be a reliable used car for others, and could last quite a bit longer.

  • loved until recently - 1995 Ford Taurus
    By -

    bought used in 97 with 36k on it. currently 144k. until recently I loved it. the speedometer went out around 50k...works up to around 65mph. no problems till 2002 fuel pump went out. however just replaced radiator, individual window switches went out several months ago...and when it shifts into second gear...sometimes I hear a scraping sound. I had hoped with its performance initially it would last longer....as Im startign to look for another car now. Hoping to get it traded in before transmission goes out. I would still buy another if I could find low mileagle. love the 3.0 engine though I have a rear seal that is leaking
