1994 Ford Thunderbird LX V8 review from North America
"The Bruce Wade of cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car, although the front rotors are deteriorating. Caused the steering wheel to shimmy under light braking at low speed.
General comments?
I love this car. I love the "duality" of the car. At low revs, it's smooth and quiet. Above 3000 rpm, it has a little growl to it and really gets things moving in a hurry.
The handling is exceptional. I have only recently pushed the car to its cornering limits. This was no small feat. A 90 deg. turn at around 50 mph with throttle input at the apex lifted the inside tire and let the rear slide, although predictably.
The people whom have had problems or didn't like this car are crazy. It has made a fan out of me. All I can say is, if you go out looking for a used luxury car with a little poop - this is your ticket.
