1993 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Great reliable car for a teenager, cheap to maintain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil pan leaked, was alittle rusted..happens..
TV Cable acted weird for a few months, turned out it was sticky and works fine now and has ever since..
Had misfiring for a bit because of bad gasoline.
General comments?
This is a great first car for a teenager to own. It's a heavy car, safe, and reliable. Its pretty darn good on gas mileage too even though it's a V8. Has great power as well. I've loved this car ever since I got it, nothing like going for a cruise on a sunny day in the country with the sunroof open. Its also a good car for doing parents' chores they want you to do, the trunk size is great so its capable of fitting a lot of stuff in it. It's also a good car in winter, due to its heavy weight it stays on the road. It's also a very comfortable car, has a very comfortable back seat and in the front you get plenty of leg room and head room as well. On the highway the car is so smooth and stable as well, good overall handling.
Overall it's a great car. I'm keepin this baby as long as I can.
