1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light came on at 8K miles -- it was a misfire on startup which was a recall.
General comments?
I love this car. The engine is silky smooth, and yet has a wonderful V-8 roar on full acceleration. While she's flying up to speed, you're coddled in the very comfortable interior. This car's handling is excellent.
Where else can you get a RWD V8 powered big coupe for so little money? (This car cost $14000 when I got it August '98 with 6000 miles on it.)
I highly recommend this car.
