1995 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Good car for the price you can now get one."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only mandatory repair was the electric radiator fan.
I've replaced the spark plugs, idler pulley, serpentine belt, and IAC valve for better efficiency and as preventative maintenance. The schrader valve in the a.c. was replaced and now the air conditioning is very cold. And, as to be expected, the electric windows quit working. (Same thing happened in my previous Crown Vic.)
General comments?
Very strong reliable motor, and not too bad with gas for the power you get. The ride is comfortable and handling is adequately responsive. Do plan on holding any cup in your hand as the cup holder is useless unless you don't really need an arm rest and your elbow can bend backwards.
