1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"The Thunderbird has combined two things that are very rarely seen together, power and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace a heater hose at about 70,000 miles.
The tires and brakes have been changed several times, as with any car.
General comments?
This car hasn't had any major problems while it has been in my possession.
The heater hose busted at about 70,000 miles, but that was caused by racing a 35th Edition Mustang, which I beat!
I had recently thought about selling my Thunderbird, but decided that I would keep it. The car has a lot of power already but I want just a little more power, so I'm currently in the process of adding performance parts, ground effects, and other accessories to give it that extra edge.
It's just an all around great car.
