1994 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"A nice-looking, comfortable and highly reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew in 2001, but it was my fault.
The radiator was replaced in 2001.
General comments?
I should have replaced the radiator in late 2000. I let it go and kept putting water in it (procrastinator). One night the smoke came and then the temperature hand went straight to red hot. I shut the car off and pulled off the road immediately, but it was too late. I really don't think that this would have ever happened if I had fixed my radiator when I should have. After fixing my radiator, I had no more problems with this car. I love the layout of the dash and interior and I have thoroughly enjoyed it this car. I am sad to be letting it go. I'd really like to keep it and see just how many miles it will go... maybe I will. I'm about to buy a smaller 4-door car because I have such a long commute to work and I have a baby now. My man also thinks that my beloved Thunderbird might fail me soon. I honestly don't agree.
