1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Keep the oil changed every 3000-5000 miles and maybe you'll be lucky too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had NO problems with my T'Bird.
General comments?
I still have the original brakes, battery, hoses, etc., only replaced fan belt twice due to wear, front struts and rear shocks. The best car I have ever owned. Absolutely no problems.
All highway miles, still 25-28 mpg and only on the second set of tires. Doesn't burn a drop of oil, no leaks and I drive it 80-85 mph on the Interstate everyday.
