1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Great all around car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight was out of alignment. Took it to the dealer and could never get it aligned just right. The original dealer had terrible service and they scratched the paint up when they applied the Teflon paint protectant on. I had to get the car wet sanded to remove the many small circular scratches.
Other than that, not a thing ever went wrong with it.
General comments?
This car was incredible considering the engine size. The 3.8L engine was very responsive and not much slower than the 4.6L. The interior was very nice with its wrap around dashboard. I loved the car and only traded it because I wanted a V8 powered Mustang. Too bad it was the last year of that body style.
