These were the pinnacle of modern American family sedans. And arguably one of the most important cars Ford ever made. The 92-95 Taurus/Sable were the first mainstream family cars that took on the Japanese competition who had a the high ground in the market and won. The Taurus outsold the Accord and Camry for a couple years. Then the 1996 redesign came out and everything went to hell in a handbasket pretty quickly.

The '94-95 Taurus/Sable, '94-95 Thunderbird/Cougar XR7, '96-98 Mustang, and '95-97 Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis were some of the prettiest cars Ford made. The three that were Ford or Mercury were the same yet different. Ford did a great job to differentiate them. In all cars, they could have dual airbags, anti-lock four wheel disc brakes, and had a somewhat potent engine in each. I always wondered what if the SHO and Sable LTS had the T-Bird SC supercharged 3.8 V6 and its semi adjustable suspension - That would have made it a direct import fighter to any vehicle in the world and it could have beaten them. Also, what if the SVE Thunderbird had been released? Literally would have been a Mustang with a backseat with its 4.6 32 valve V8 being reported at 300 hp according to magazines. Ford had it going but killed it all too quickly

I had a ‘95 Taurus GL 3.0 that was handed down to me as a young adult. It was a great ride, minus the blown engine under 85,000 miles and the transmission rebuild.

This generation of Taurus SHO was fun to drive with the manual. It's a shame that sales of the SHO didn't take off until they put an automatic in it. This was back when having the manual made a big difference. Now automatics have advanced and surpassed the manual.

The SHO Yamaha engine is bad ass

I own a 1995 mercury sable gs with the 3.8 engine it’s the ever common white color with green interior some people don’t like the mercury but I love mine been waiting for this review for a little time

The SHO is my FAV Taurus and Conan O’Brien’s, especially of this design. The standard versions of this Taurus also makes me think of Danny Tanner (played by the late Bob Saget; R.I.P. Bob), who drove one on Full House.

These are my favorite Sable and Taurus body styles. Despite looking the same as the prior generation they look smoother, fresher. I would only consider driving the SHO or Sable LTZ. My parents wouldn't have driven either as they had an '88 BMW 325iS.

I love Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable, specially the wagons

I drove one for years as a company car. Good car, most lasted for about 150 grand. Maintained but driven hard by most.

I actually wish I held on to my 92 Sable. It was my first car when I got my license in 06, had the 3.8 motor and was powder blue colored. It had its typical Ford Motor Company issues, but was a beast of a car.

My grandfather had a blue 92 Sable LS. It was great on road trips.

The generation after this one was pretty cool and distinctive. But didn’t sell as well from what I heard compared to these.

I always loved the 1.5 gen of the taurus. My uncle had a forrest green one

I never got into these things, I only loved their Continental cousin, but everyone else literally loooooved them.

They could’ve avoided the 1996 debacle if they paid more attention to upgrading material quality and design in the interior and rushing a better V6 into production. By this time, the Taurus began to look like a stale American sedan with flat seats and crude interior. That said, I’d like a 3.8 liter LX wagon with sunroof. I’ve seen exactly one of those.

The only Taurus I've ever been somewhat familiar with is the '97 that my Grandma had untill 2012 or so. A completely different car from the previous generation. I like the look of the 3rd gen best.

It’s hard to state how impressive the original Taurus and Sable were when they came out in 1985. I know they had their share of reliability issues but the design and execution was ground breaking for a Big Three car maker. It had the right blend of aero looks and power, as well as a Euro flavor, that America hadn’t seen before. It was gamble but one that paid off. GM just have been running scared when the first year sales figures came out- the best it had were the decidedly frumpy looking A-body cars (Celebrity, Century, Cutlass Sierra and 6000) which were no match for the Taurus/Sable in aesthetics or dynamics. The 1991 refresh was quite a comprehensive one as refreshes go. Still clearly a Taurus or Sable but much more aerodynamically packaged and with a new dashboard design. This was as different as the final Granada was to the original Fairmont, same doors and structure, everything else different.

@@jaxandmore440 He's not wrong about improper maintenace on these cars. My aunt's 92 Sable LS wagon has over 200,000 miles on it and STILL has it's original factory AXOD-E on it. Never died. Never had to have been replaced, Never rebuilt. If you think you can go to 100,000 miles or 75,000 miles on one of these Taurus and Sables without doing ANY sort of transmission fluid or filter changes in between that amount of miles you're sadly mistaken. Ford in the original 86 Taurus brochure laughably claimed the AXOD was "virtually maintanence free," That was a load of BS. Besides my uncle working on my aunt's Sable I know of several other people who changed the fluid and filter on the trans in between 20,000 miles and 50,000 miles and just like my Aunt's car, NO transmission troubles ever.

@@ironinquisitor3656 newer geared automatic transmissions require far fewer fluid changes, but older cars required them much more frequently. I remember my mom having the transmission fluid changed once a year (10k-15k miles) on her 92 Plymouth Acclaim Torqueflite 3spd automatic. That transmission gave her no trouble for over 180k miles. So I know what you're saying. My thought is that I don't see a reason why people buying the Taurus new would have been more neglectful than anyone else buying new cars at the time that didn't have a terrible track record like the Taurus transmission. It just doesn't make any sense.

Have you driven a Ford lately?
