2011 FORD TAURUS THE REAL TRUTH

[Corvette1658]

yeah my mom had a 2004 Volvo XC90 well it had 106.000.00 miles on and they were things just going wrong with it Volvo's are expensive to reapir the last thing it happend before we got rid of it the compter went bad and it will be 3,000 to replace the compter so now my mom has a 2011 Toyota Venza V6 AWD

[jacketman22]

I thought this was somewhere in America, until I noticed the "London Transit" bus, and realized this was in my own backyard. LONDON, ONTARIO REPRESENT! How does the chassis fare on shitty roads like Wharncliffe?

[misterjgl]

He made smart move,the Mercedes-Benz, eventhoug it is a nicer car than the Ford, it is a luxury vehicle. And it is expensive to maintain.

[evega2707]

You talked about the Benz than the ford

[chinchillawrangler]

"its 8 years old"... thats still an infant compared to some of the cars ive had...

[darkradianteclipse]

Ford Taurus SHO is my dream car. I fell inlove with this car the first time i saw it on the streets back in 2009 the (2010 models) its still getting better. Much props to Ford they the best American Car Company! I drive a ford right now and i love it... dont listen to Asian cars are better! its non sense Honda and Toyota dont compare to Ford. Im asian and i drive a ford and i love ford cars.

[wonc]

@darkradianteclipse my Philipino dude owns 3 Ford Cars; Expedition, Mustang, and Fusion. And they are so amazing and trouble-free!!!

[zacheryds]

@darkradianteclipse agreed! i am American but im 25% Korean lol and love American Muscle Ford is the best!

[Corvette1658]

What kind of engine does that thing have.

[rcrocker02]

@Corvette1658 a twin turbo 3.5 liter v6, 365 hp and 350 lb ft torque stock with all wheel drive... with a simple tune and no physical mods, you can get it to 411 hp and 423 lb ft torque.

[Toni7859]

@Corvette1658 - 3.5L V6

[TheAllMightySagz]

i cant listen to anyone who has more mustache hair than scalp hair

[badlieutenant13]

You're losing money by buying a brand new car. You'd save money by repairing the Benz and spending a bit more on the fuel.

[joeldude76]

i love my gmc sierra and i love fords also i had a ford ranger befor my gmc sierra never had a problem with it and i really like how quit my gmc sierra is with the stock exhaust but im gonna be getting a magnaflow exhaust

[RandomPizOfShizFilms]

YEAH FORD KICKING ASS ONCE AGAIN!

[kingmike40]

Does it make sense to buy a car that you cannot afford to repair? I was always told by my dad if I couldn't afford to repair it I couldn't afford it. I guess the ego over rules the common sense.

[creamyfilling102]

@kingmike40 what you should do is buy a good enough car that you don't have to repair at all.

[kingmike40]

@creamyfilling102 I buy cars that I can afford to repair. Everybody should take the cost of repairs into account when buying a vehicle.

[edxrbugcatcher]

FWD heap of shit.

[mflesh2001]

I've owned a 2010 SHO since August 8, 2009 and love it. It's more expensive (sticker is 42K) but with the AWD, I'm thanking myself in snow, ice, and rain.

[7477238]

@legoman844 When the Fords get old you can keep them on the road with junkyard parts. Old Fords are the easiest to service. There is a nice allure to owning a Benz though.

[shirke01]

Mercedes piece of junk.

Taurus nice car and You got the right choice.Enjoy!

[traxxasboy1011]

We just got a 2010 Ford taurus SHO had owned 2 other shos both 89s with the 5 speed... the new sho is AMAZING! 365hp twin turbo ecoboost motor! awd all that extra nice stuff too! love FORD!

[joeyz2k]

the cars nice man ford is stepping up their game i have an 09 mercury milan aNd love it.. did he say the seats massage? thats incredible

[dav1dsfarm]

movie is up for all to see and can be downloaded on VUZE, enjoy

[granskare]

you could have bought a Buick, that's the real oldsters car :)

[cessnaid]

GOTTA LOVE YOUR FORDS!!!

[jfreake13]

bloke is this the tauras with the twin turbo

[bleckndecker]

@jfreake13 No its not, that would be the SHO.

[sodapop554]

A lot of people don't realize how lucky they are when they can buy what they need. Every one of my families cars over the past 20 years have all been given to us. With my dad's 25k a year income & no one hiring it's amazing we're able to support 3 people on that. Sure we finally managed to move, so now we save on gas. But now we have 2 mortgages to pay off, so in reality our attempt to improve a bad situation stayed stuck in the mud.

[g20s10silveradoman]

3.05 here in southern NH and 3.27 for premium...ugh i hate owning a lincoln needing high grade fuel....i wish i had the fuel mixture in canada maybe i would get better MPG my neighbor does with his town car and a noticable difference too

[mecanicman66]

ford taurus is not high quality car like  mercedes benz are

[EvanConover]

Are resale values for Fords good in Canada?  They're awful in America.

[nrhbmw]

@EvanConover I'm in canada, same story here

[carbpumper]

this ford beats benz

[piuthemagicman]

@carbpumper Bet you have never driven a Benz, or even a car...

[carbpumper]

@piuthemagicman ive been in a car before

[olteancr]

All of you people that would take that old POS Benz over this new Taurus are a bunch of POSERS. All you care about is showing off and that you tell people that you drive a Benz even if its 10 years old.

[EvanConover]

@olteancr

They're also ignoring what Joe said about the maintenance costs for a Mercedes Benz. For how much you'll be paying in new parts and repairs for an almost 9 year old car, you might as well spend that money on a new car.

[nrhbmw]

@EvanConover Agreed. I work for BMW, and have worked on many other German cars... if you can't afford to maintain/take care of it... stay the heck away.. haha.. that's why i drive a Toyota. haha

[ChickenCritters]

@nrhbmw thats not as big of a problem, the big problem is when your car starts to get old and replacing all the stuff becomes a problem, now if you can do the maintance your self fucking sweet save some money

[subie1987]

the driver and camera guys is 100% right about the taurus. it really is nice and american car makers are really making the cars really nice and attractive to buy compared to before, but yet it took a bad economy to really change from before, they really changed around but yet it really still is an american car and in the long run still not yet proven to be dependable past lets say for an example 50,000 miles.

[danny1232526]

ilove the bmw lol

[danny1232526]

ilove the bmw lol

[Streetlightning7]

My car has a really large trunk maybe even larger than that.

[Halusal]

@Streetlightning7 Amazing!!!!! Your car has a REALLY large trunk!!!!! It's even larger then that!!!!!!! You are so lucky!!!!! I wish I had a REALLY large trunk! Good for you Streetlighning7.

[Streetlightning7]

@Halusal I can't even take you seriously...and btw thanks for spelling my name wrong!

[kevinonstenk]

I like BMW 5 Series more

[Jay91010]

ford is a BIG downgrade from mercedes i would have kept the mercedes!

[mustang633NY]

@Jay91010 have you ever owned a mercades? they are expencive to keep running... at least in North America

[Jay91010]

@mustang633NY im geussing they are, and no i have never owned one

[revealteam]

reveal/ any web based email password for cheap! >> mail-password(dot)com <<

[Motorfordtoyota]

Id take the Ford.

[ChickenCritters]

you guys have no idea! Mercedes that get old are so expensive to repair, so its maintenance. This guy actually knows what he is talking about because i went through the same problem.

[gmcnewlook]

@ChickenCritters dont forget the high octane gas, it can cost alot!

[doomalz3eem]

@ChickenCritters i agree with you cause a have an old merceds it cost allot to repair it

so i had to buy a new car so i bought the new gx 460 lexus

but im selling it cuz itsnt comfy

im thiking in buying the tarus but witch i take the

sho or the other one

[ChickenCritters]

@doomalz3eem yeah the mercedes i sold to my friend technically is falling apart already just a day ago he was barely going 20 on the frewway, something wrong with his engine and hasn't driven it since then. All i know is that its going to cost A LOT of money for the parts

[doomalz3eem]

@ChickenCritters thanks man

cuz i have a mercedes & u now nothing like it

its hard to chose a new car esaly

so do you think it deserv its money

and if i think of buying 1 any model is the choice the limited or sho ??

[ChickenCritters]

@doomalz3eem Sho if i had the money but you can't go wrong with any trim of the taurus

[viper1966]

@ChickenCritters

The only reason people say that is that they defer maintenance that they can not afford on the Benz.

Jaguar on the other hand is a completely different story.

[codythekid03]

i like how you consider a 9 year old car old..thats nothing

[LiquidRetro]

You can not compare a Ford Taurus to an S class Mercedes. Totally different vehicles for different segments.

[ATLOffroad]

Wow. What an idiot. His solution to save money is buy a new car because his old car needed a tune up. I hope his career isn't financial planning.

[gmcnewlook]

@ATLOffroad dude, mecedes can cost alot to fix as they get older, not to mention they only take the high octane gas and here in ontario thats expensive its 1.24 a liter!add how big the tank is and thats seriously expesive to keep running for some people its cheaper to get a ford for joe im sure he didnt want to dpwngrade, but joe is like my dad he doesnt like unnessary expenses

[bronzebro8]

lol that has blind spots my family has a dodge charger and you put the sun blind down over the steering wheel and you have about an inch to see lol

[Jackice]

FORD FTW :)

[KawiKZ400]

thats a nice car man

[BadBrad23]

You should have kept the Benz for when the Taurus breaks down...

[gmcnewlook]

@BadBrad23 you got that wrong, other way around lol benzs get expensive to fix

[PonyPower71]

Love it!

[SaxInThaCity]

For a long time I though he was just a guy that was really weird, now I realize he is actually a down to earth guy that has a head on his shoulders :) I can see why you hang out with him bloke :)

[STREETRACEN4U]

YOU GOT RID OF IT CUS ITS A 2002? hayyel thats practicly still new! i got a 97 Honda and it runs great still. and b4 that was a 96 monte carlo and b4 that we had a 97 blazer and b4 that an 82 blazer. trust me.. 2002 is NOT old. lol

[xIntoThePitx]

@STREETRACEN4U - to you it's not old. Some people think a 3 yr old vehicle is old. Some even trade in every year for the latest model. Hey if you can afford a new vehicle, all the power to ya. I have a 98 civic myself, gets me around, but it needs exhaust work, clutch, timing belt, water pump, valve's set, rust repair, tint replacement, heater blower fixed, oxygen sensor, some instrument lights don't work, scratch in the windshield, tires, plus it has 360k, and it's slow as fuck! But good on gas

[gmcnewlook]

@STREETRACEN4U as many other people have said, mercedes cost alot to fix as they get older, trsut me even the most minisclue part for a mercedes is a ripoff, if you can afford it, thats fine but if your somelike joe thats alot of money

[jakeanddar]

Glad you like it!

[gmcnewlook]

mecedes benz is overated, my dad has a 2000 s430, its a nice car but its had alot issues luckily covered by warranty, gas is extremely expensive for it, he loves it though btw ford is really steping up their game, im not in the market for a car anytime soon, but id look at ford i like that voice activated system (used be called sync now its my touch or something)

[KawiKZ400]

@gmcnewlook look at ford and the new ECO boost engines, and what they do to them :P

[nikothecrazygreek]

mud that thing

[mdebass]

Nice car. I'd rent one!

[yellowcow13]

Great car. I got a 2010 flex in the same color with the same engine. Good power and effivenvy, quiet, smooth, and a great sound system. Whats not to love

[ThisIsBillyH]

Dave is probably going to be pissed that he got a taurus.

[startacklebox]

ive got the original taurus its slow

[MauField]

far as I remember the first sho that came out was in 91

[mdebass]

@MauField 1989.

[TheCanadiancarpenter]

@MauField it was in 1988 I had a 1989 with a 5 speed...

[02DodgeViper]

just a classy looking car

[Bobtrucker123]

That is a Nice car.

[walkingfreak]

Plenty of beer holders! and the paddle shifters id abuse

[Brainiac83]

From Mercedes to Ford..You must have hit your head on a sink that morning.

[TheCanadiancarpenter]

@Brainiac83 no I triped over my empty wallet!!!

[BlessedMeWithHisFire]

american cars are finally catching up with having all around great cars

[Mikeyssss]

i didnt rly care for the older taurus' too many problems, not that much into ford, but i had an escort that wouldnt die for nothing, but i gotta say if i couldnt get into a newer chevy, id sure look into one of these

[redneck4runneroutlaw]

R They After U ???

[naterade21]

id rather have the SHO

[imthejoker4u2]

I suggest using the free maitenance to the full extent. Get the oil changed in that every 3000, and follow the maintenance schedual to a tee. Anything missed will be used against you in a warrenty claim.

[forddriver09]

$3.05 a gallon spokane washington

[magnacore11]

The MB was really choice but an...all you're paying for is the name. Think about it. The Taurus is new. Same amenities within (basically) as the Benzie...and it'sa pretty nice car!

btw BLOKE! Will there be another Bloke and Joe show?

[BeaverCleavage1]

@magnacore11 Not even close all the gadgets in the ford are just that gadgets. I have two Mercedes and have drivin many diffrent cars and nothing compares. It is more than a name. Anyone who says Mercedes are the same as any other care have never owned one. The thing I will say about Mercedes is if they need work you pay out the ass.that is a big negative. But if you can pay there is no better car. I was in a situation on the highway once and I belive because I was driving a Benz it saved my ass

[TheCanadiancarpenter]

@BeaverCleavage I agree!!!!

[thebosse5]

dont know what it is in liters but $2.93 gallon in ohio

[sickdeathshappen]

@thebosse5 premium gas $ 3.25 in california

[thebosse5]

@sickdeathshappen ouch that may be what plus is runnin but i just use reg

[sickdeathshappen]

@thebosse5 high compression engines,, my trans am needs 91/93 octane to run, also bmws 

[thebosse5]

@sickdeathshappen it sure makes em'run well,,i drive a mazda and every once in a while it gets a tank of the shell v-power deff makes a big diffrence

[mustang633NY]

@sickdeathshappen really? regular is 3.15 in central NY... premium is 20-30 cents more... as for ohio guy- people have told me ohio has the lowest fuel prices and i guess its true

[andrewca1990]

@thebosse5 Here in Nova Scotia, Canada regular gas is around $4.30 a gallon.

[thebosse5]

@andrewca1990 hoooollllly guess i got no room to complain huh? damn thats in sane pricing

[98770]

@thebosse5  that means around 77 cents a liter.

[SamTheSuave]

3-5 years of 'free' driving. Yeah, if you don't count the massive depeciation hit you'll take on it buddy... would never buy a brand new car personally.

[mustang633NY]

@SamTheSuave id say anyone that is un sure of what they want shoudl lease or buy used - if you know exactly what you want and you have the funds then buy new and drive it for 8 to 10 years like most of the families i know do.

[Sharpmusicmedia]

I used to be a chevy guy. I owned a Ford Focus for 5 years. Not a single problem with it (until the engine blew) lol...Seems like Ford is coming around really nicely!

[barriejimmy]

$1.12L in southern ontario

[cinquecentolover]

£1.20/L for petrol/ gasoline in England"!!!

[ashley118118]

@cinquecentolover u luckey fucker £1.90 is the cheapest in my aria :'(

[novoiperkele]

@cinquecentolover thats peanuts, we have over 1.5€/l in Finland..

[terrance960]

@novoiperkele Yeah, + ridiculous taxes, mainteinance costes and insurances....

In Finland is almost a crime to own a car.

[gabbermaikel]

@novoiperkele he is talking about great brittan pounds, they are worth more than euro's are

[novoiperkele]

@gabbermaikel I know --> 1.20 British pounds = 1.43100974 Euros

[novoiperkele]

@gabbermaikel 1.20 gbp is only about 1.40 euros

[RevolverLover101]

@cinquecentolover $2.95 avrage in usa!!! thats $1.88 in england

[gabbermaikel]

@RevolverLover101 i think that that price is a gallon? and cinquecentolover is talking about liters

over here it is between €1.50 and 1.60 a liter for normal petrol, for diesel its somthing like 1.10 a liter and for LPG its somthing like €0.55

[TheConradChannel]

@RevolverLover101 USA fuel is priced per gallon though isn't it? It's priced per litre in europe.

[RevolverLover101]

@TheConradChannel yeah i didnt take that into consideration till after i posted it. 1 gallon is 3.78 litre's

[alx1123]

@thestevemaster9000 Its about £1.20 = $1.87 here. Ridiculous.

[alx1123]

What are the fuel prices in Canada? I live in England and when I went to the states for a holiday the fuel prices were dirt cheap compared to here in Britain.

[DanielRemains]

@alx1123 $1.049/Litre in N.-B. Canada

[phill903]

Nice car hope you don't find yourself fixing or repairing daily...

[Elmohellno]

you can tell he misses the benz.....

[JerryMopar]

See why Ford didn't take any bailout money??

[cody34429]

I have an older SL500 and I understand the

Maintenance issues (spending $4800.00 today/ transmission) but nothing rides better.

[Transinater]

they really fucked up on the new torus lol..

[bigbzon]

Sweden almost $2 per litre.

[Transinater]

ewwy ford.....

[777shades]

You're complaining about $1.10 per litre? Spare me.

[ScorpionSrokk]

@777shades £1.20/L

not $ if im correct

[JustForFun248]

how much is petrol in canada

im sure it cant be worse than here @ £1.24 litre

[longwavefurry]

I stopped driving my benz and got a saturn. ill never buy another benz again.

[zundappchef]

gas here in the netherlands is 1.58 for 1 liter and that`s euro`s

that 2.08 dollar for 1 liter

know that are prices

[siemenstraffic]

@famouswolfy How often the oil light goes on?

[dieselburner]

benz, beamer or bentley!! bitches

[therealjimguy]

well at least they circled the problem!!!!

[ajsullyvincennes]

Nice car!! good choice!

[AMAZINGAL100]

come on a lorry has better fuel economy than a charger

[johnkimble2007]

Srry bloke and joe but i love the SHO but a good deal not bad

[metalicpoo]

Nice to see Joe got a Ford.I was a Mopar guy until I work in a ford dealership for 4 years.I think the new fords are the best of the new cars.I was really excited when I heard about the 365hp taurus sho but when the car showed up I was a little disapointed and for the craziest reason.I love small cars and the taurus is huge.I bet it go's like hell but I can't help wondering what it would be like to have that engine in a focus.

Hope Joe likes his non sho taurus

[rvasquez6089]

ewwww ford :< watch every electronic malfunction in like 4-5 years =.= POS

[will5394]

ford roadside will only tow you to a ford dealer...sorry

[Tunerboy8732]

I think you did good on going with the Taurus.I love Mecedes just as much as the next person but there high on insurance,high maintenance and just overall expensive cars.There so many new vehicles coming out now that have just as many options as there competitors like Mercedes and BMW but at half the price which is great.

[birdman404]

lovely car

[igeekone]

I admit it's not a bad car but there is no beating a Merc for utter lux and serenity.

[Stangfan88]

1 reason to buy a 11 SHO 365hp .

[cooperbowm]

Lol i know where you guys were driving.you were going down oxford street in london on the same way you take to go to my house :D

[84W150]

We just sold an SHO. Sticker price was $47,000 (United States dollars)

[TJC450]

@84W150 holly cow. 

[GospelTruth777]

$1.12 per litre. It's supposed to go to $1.20 by Xmas, merry Christmas!!!

[pimpinpenz]

@GospelTruth777 yeah its a hard time for us canadians time to get out the the little smart cars and the little Hybrids

[Zohles]

@GospelTruth777 Thats next to nothing compared to euro prices.

[GospelTruth777]

@Zohles Sure is expensive in Europe. Thank God I don't live there. It's a bigger Geographic area over here especially for trucking routes. When the gas prices go up, so does everthing else.

[rigimp]

thanx joe for helping out my ford stock. as for backing up use your side mirrors like a van. thats what i have to do because i cant turn my head around enough to look out the window.

[MossyOak83]

not only do you have to repair the merecedes like any older cars the parts are alot more just as the cars off the line.....im a chevy guy just as joe but i would say it was a good buy :)

[7477238]

@MossyOak83 The best part of driving American cars is that when they get older you can keep them running off junkyard parts.

[randomhero713]

My dad has an 09 charger and it isn't bad with blind spots except the back window which is about the same as the tarus when backing up and it's pretty quite so I can't imagine how quite that tarus is. My mom however has a 08 hhr and it is terrible with blind spots I can't stand driving it

[03SilverMustangGT]

I wish it was rear wheel drive =(

[shithustler420]

lmao "his and his heat" Joes Gay!

[cobraman897]

@shithustler420 bloke and joe. dont think hes gay
