Pros: Great Looking, Lots of Attention, Nice V8
Cons: High Demand/Price, Flimsy Boot
The Bottom Line: People love this car. It's great looking and fun to drive, dealer prices in excess of $50K dull the T-Bird's image. Who wouldn't want one of these?
Ford Thunderbird; the name alone says so much. American automakers and especially Ford have always seemed to name their cars based more on emotion than facts or market research. Just think of it, U.S. cars have long used names that evoke certain...

Pros: Sweet!! Looks like candy. Drives like a dream. Very smooth all around character.
Cons: My wife says its her car. Limited headroom for taller individuals.
The Bottom Line: If you are fortunate enough to find one at a dealer, you owe it to yourself to beg for a test drive. If you don't buy it, someone quickly will.
My wife has had a penchant for a convertible for a long time. So to quiet her down one day, I decided to take her to look at - not buy - a Mercedes SL500.
After eyeing a few SL's on the Benz lot, I drove to the Ford dealer to look at an F150...

Pros: Great looking car! Holds it's value. Convertible ambiance, hardtop comfort.
Cons: Hard top removal requires 2 people. Rubbernecks and tailgaters make life miserable.
The Bottom Line: Buy it not because you need it, but because you can. By the way, you can't take it with you so enjoy it right here and right now.
A true student of T-Bird history understands that this car while originally released to compete with Chevy's Corvette in the marketplace, was never intended to compete with the Corvette on the race track. The end result is an upscale sports car, that...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Great exterior design. Body hugging seats.
Cons: Slow acceleration. Awful transmission. Endless creaks & rattles. Tiny trunk.
The Bottom Line: If you care only about looking great and nothing about performance or build-quality, this car is for you.
I drove the T-bird convertible for four days as a rental. Its design is very cute, and its exterior finish was high quality. Driving it out of the rental car lot was an ordeal, as it wouldn't fit two modest sized suitcases in the shallow trunk. One ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: retro styling, image, attracts attention wherever it goes, good passing power
Cons: rather heavy, shares too many parts w/Lincoln LS, headroom for taller folks, gas mileage
The Bottom Line: The new Ford Thunderbird is definitely an icon you WILL want in your garage. As a low-volume, high-priced roadster, it is better off used as a second car.
After a 5-year "break" Ford finally restores its new Thunderbird. The Thunderbird has gone through many changes over the years. Now, Ford has decided to bring back the T-Bird with the same "essence" as the original.
EXTERIOR:...

Pros: Throaty V-8 sounds as good as it drives. Beautiful design detail.
Cons: Major electrical failure at 7,800 miles. Ford not standing behind the product.
The Bottom Line: Everyone should own a car like this once in their lives.
Update written June 2005 (three years after purchase) I'm up to 7,800 miles on the vehicle now. Over all, the car has been a great value. The motor has gotten slightly more throaty sounding, in a good way, and seems to have found a few more horsepower ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Nothing really.
Cons: It's way overpriced. It's underpowered.
The Bottom Line: Overpriced. The Thunderbird died after the 50's. It has never really been alive since except for the SuperCoupe.
Ford has once again tried to bring back the Thunderbird. But let's face it: The car that has carried the Thunderbird name for half a century has really been about five or six distinctly different cars. Other than the name, these cars have nothing in...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: This is hard, only thing can think its
easy to recognize
Cons: Expensive, few features, uncomfortable
driving. Inconvenient hardtop, noisy.
Cheap looking interior appointments
The Bottom Line: Its not a sole car for someone. you need another practical
car to have with this vehicle. No place to put anything
from as simple as going to the store
Price is very high per features offered when you
look at other cars. Seat have little adjustment
range, no central computer telling of cars functions,
no lighted mirrors, no dimming mirrors, No memory for
seat and other settings, no...
