1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Reliable, comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belt tensioner bearing went out at 201,000 miles.
General comments?
Very reliable car, other than the belt tensioner bearing the only other things were wear and tear items (battery, hoses as preventive, brakes).
Nice comfortable ride, but the drivers seat does not have a lumbar support.
