1994 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America

"Very disappointing purchase!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Catalytic converters were completely clogged from the factory.

Car was in the shop for approximately 4 of the first twelve months I owned it because no one could figure out what was wrong with it.

Thought the transmission was bad, was replaced however it was later found to be the clogged catalytic converters that were causing the car to decelerate when I was trying to accelerate.

Automatic antenna broke.

Sold it to my sister. CD player and

radio broke.

Moonroof sticks. Won't open sometimes.

Had aftermarket fog lamps installed, they only worked about two months.

General comments?

Worst car I ever owned! I cannot believe I sold my Turbo Coupe for this car.

For having a V8, the car was not fast at all. Very sluggish even after it was repaired, not a quick response at all when the accelerator was punched.

Handled like a boat. Very loopy steering, car was not responsive at all. It was like driving a Buick. Cornered poorly, you always felt like the car was not in your control. Extremely disappointing after having owned a Turbo Coupe. This car was no pleasure to drive.

Car was constantly in the shop. Car would decelerate as I was going to pass, had it to seven dealerships and had multiple parts replaced before it was finally discovered that the catalytic converters were completely plugged and I was told that they came from the factory like that.

Interior was roomy and comfortable.

Not a particularly attractive car.
