1995 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"A great car for the price, and enough power and comfort to get you from A to B with a smile!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the black paint was oxidizing when I bought it not a month ago.
The odometer is broken at 119,000, but it's estimated at 138,000.
The cup holders are useless, as they're located inside the center console.
The brake line near the back passenger side is starting to leak.
A/C has a leak, but no oil leaks.
Suspension is weak, but hey it's a 13 year old car!
All in all it has held up great and I have no major complaints.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable and roomy. You'll have no trouble carting people around in the spacious interior.
And as with most smaller engines, the 4.6 V8 has no trouble carrying you and your passengers.
Definitely a passenger-oriented car with ample room and comfy seats. Great cross between lux and sport. Options are great.
Sure, this thing is a dinosaur but it's still got a lot of life left in it, and if you treat it well this car can last. It was built when Ford could afford to make reliable, good automobiles. Nowadays, cheap plastic parts and engines that won't last 100,000 are dominating the American automakers.
