1993 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"The best thing the engineers at Ford EVER came up with.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My thermostat went out at 200,000miles.
Both ball joints broke within 4,000 miles of each other, first being at 210,000.miles.
Motor was rebuilt at 170,000 miles.
Sway bar broke at 210,000 miles, broke with second ball joint.
General comments?
I love my Thunderbird, for the miles this car has it has exceptional performance, 0-60 at 8.5 seconds... original transmission.
The seats are like sitting in recliners...
Love the hidden "low" second gear for race performance..
Owned another 93 t-bird before my Taurus, its what inspired me to grab this one regardless of miles when I seen it.
This car has beauty, aerodynamics, room, and luxury, I'd tell anyone.. matter of fact I tell people everyday,"They haven't driven a car until they've driven a T-BIRD"
