1992 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Fairly reliable, but wouldn't suggest buying one.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gaskets have gone twice.
The exhaust was replaced.
Breaks have been changed 5 times within 5 years.
Front end needs alignment.
Front and rear wind shields have been replaced.
Beginning to rust under both doors and on the front of the hood.
Headlights and tail-lights have been replaced at least once each.
That's it... I think.
General comments?
This car has cost me a lot of money, especially the head gaskets going.
But there are up-sides to this car, the interior is designed very well. Everything is comfortable and easy to reach. This car is also very responsive with acceleration, handling, and top speed. I've had this car well over 100mph before, and the acceleration is amazing for a Ford with an automatic transmission on it. It feels as if there's a shift kit on it!
