1988 Ford Thunderbird Reviews - Page 15 of 16

BRAKES! Very expensive when the whole set needs to be replaced. Other than that, no engine problems.

Mileage was exceptional, especially on long trips, got 529 miles on one tank of gas on my way to Texas.

Only raced it once, and that was because a guy pestered me at a bar, then followed me home, wanting to race me. I had the car in the garage and he still wanted to race. After 10 minutes of telling the guy to leave me alone, I told him to get it out on the road. Needless to say, he was a spec in my rearview mirror when I got through with him. I regret the day I got rid of that car!

Fuel pump.

Fuel pressure regulator.

Turbo.

Great car, liked this car since I first drove it. One of a kind, not only a comfort car but also a sports car.

In two words - "Great ride"!!!!!!!

Air conditioner.

Transmission.

Water pump.

Rear callipers.

Very good car, I love it. After 192,000 miles, it is still just as strong as ever. I have changed the exhaust, intake, boost level, and the chip, and the motor is still in one piece. When you can punish a car as much as I have with this one, and still not replace the motor, it is a very good car.

Most recently the transmission and catalytic converter.

I have had this car for almost 12 years and the maintenance and repairs have been very costly.

Oil leaks, tail lights that blow out on a monthly basis, clutch, electric windows, electric door locks, graphic equalizer, electric seats just to name a few of the items that I have had repaired, some of them more than once.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!! When it is good it is the best car to drive!! If I didn't love it so much, I would have unloaded it a long time ago.

Also, for the record I have had the oil changed every 3,000 miles faithfully since the day I drove it off the lot as well as regular tune ups and maintenance.

I highly recommend NOT test driving this car or you will become addicted like me and will never again be able to afford the finer things in life.

On the other hand, if you are one of the lucky few who have money to throw away, if you can find one in decent condition, buy it!!

This car is great. The only thing I have ever done is replace a fog light bulb.

I have had this car for ten years and it still runs like the day I bought it.

It is very good on gas, and still has a lot of pick up for an 88.

I have read the other comments on this car and I personally think it was the BEST car Ford has ever made.
