1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"If found in good condition, buy it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a tune up $240
Needed a raditor fan $200
Breaks (not the cars fault) $130.
General comments?
My car is great!
My previous car was a Crown Victoria and I needed something more economical.
I have always loved the Thunderbird/Cougar for thier stylish looks, power and reliability.
I can whoop on all my friends cars all the time.
Just last month I kicked a 2007 jetta Wolfsbergs ass in sport mode! The driver was my ex-girlfriend and she wanted to see if I could keep up with her (very cute, but very stupid). We still hang out together and she still bags on my car because it's a Ford.
I love the fact that this car is very spacious and everything inside is very well laid out.
I only wish Ford kept this Thunderbird for a lot longer!
I'm the third owner and going to drive this car until it decinagrates!
I want to put a sunroof in later on as well as flowmasters!
Great car if found in good condition!
