1995 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"An excellent automobile all around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with this car.
The brakes needed to be done all around, and produce heavy brake dust.
Lights for drive indication and dashboard are almost all burnt out. Have replaced the cyclops lights for the brakes twice and have both burnt out quickly after.
General comments?
I agree with the cupholder issues. They are in a bad spot and do not fit bigger size cups. But, difficult to put anywhere else in the car.
Car is fast and still feels great to drive after 6 years of owning it. It will be hard to trade up to a new car.
I like the low-to-the-ground feel and bucket seats. Car came with many options including, traction assist, auto lights, cruise control, digital climate control, etc.
