1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"Contentment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vacuum lines on the turbocharger had to be replaced due to age.
The premium sound system radio volume control knob had to be repaired.
General comments?
I love this car! It drives like a true sports car, and has power to spare. There's a slight lag in the turbocharger during spool up, but once it engages, you'd better hold on to your hat!
The interior is very stylishly done and comfortable. It has every available power accessory, including a moon roof and ride control! I couldn't design a better car if I wanted to.
The 1988 Turbo Coupe marked the end of the Aerobird era sadly, but they're still out there if you're interested in owning a true collectible.
