1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"It's a nice sleek car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked manifold (recalled).
Brakes at needed at 82,000 miles.
Door hinges needed to be replaced on the driver's side.
General comments?
This car is really comfortable when on long or short trips.
The V8 engine makes the car with a fast pickup, but also bad on gas.
This car is a good summer car, however not good in the snow because of the rear wheel drive.
