1994 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America

The right clip on the glove box is broken preventing it from closing and causing the light to constantly burn.

The rear-view mirror is too heavy and falls off the glass periodically, requiring it to be constantly re-glued.

The bearings in the fan are wearing down causing it to make a constant, irritating whirring noise.

At 70,000 miles or so one side of the splash guard fell off and it broke in half.

The temperature dial can be pulled off.

For a car that weighs over 4000 pounds and provides only ~205 horsepower you certainly wouldn't expect much in the way of performance. However, the car won't leave you sweating your highway trips. When it comes time to pass or merge it picks up and maintains speed extremely well. It's no muscle car, but if you step on the gas you'll definitely feel it!

The handling is exceptional. The ride is plenty firm and makes spinning around the corners a lot of fun with minimal slippage and body roll. However, the ride is not so firm as to cause the ride to be harsh or uncomfortable an normal pavement. The ride can get a little unnerving on extending trips over rougher pavement, however. The seats are supportive and the cabin is roomy enough up front to accommodate any, but the tallest among us. Don't try to put anyone over the age of 5 in the back seat though, as there's just not much room.

The trunk is deceptive. Don't be fooled when you first look - it doesn't hold as much as you might think.

90's Thunderbirds are a good bargain. They don't cost a whole lot, but they provide plenty of power and comfort, and, as long as they're taken care of, will keep doing so for quite some time.
