1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Mustang power, Cadillac luxury, extreme value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, first off, the dealer was really crappy.
It had a problem with one of the tail lights being out, but all it was, was that it had to be plugged back into the wire harness.
Also, it has a short on the circut for the interior lights, keyless entry, power locks & mirrors. I have to occasionally replace the fuse, but it's no big deal :) I'm planning on fixing it soon though.
Other than that, I have had a great experience with this badass car, and all of the crackheads who say that "FORD SUCKS" need a serious reality check. Ford is the ORIGINAL and BEST. THE BEST NEVER REST!!!
General comments?
I love my car. My car is so badass. I love the paint. I also love the comfortable, beautiful, ergonomic, amazingly wonderful interior.
Also, the 4.6 V8 is a GREAT engine. Very powerful and responsive. It's no 5.0, but it gets the job done.
The rear wheel drive is nice too :) I wish that it had traction control for the rainy days, and I wish it had ABS, but it has ever other factory option (except leather, but that's okay, because leather sucks).
Also, the factory moonroof is fun. The car has power everything, and it is just too awesome for words. I'm getting happy just talking about my Thunderbird.... My beautiful baby!
