1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Sharp looking automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Started having a hesitation promblems pulling out from a stop around 57,000 miles.
Had a coolant leak from the front of the intake manifold around 65,000 miles.
I've had transmission promblems since the purchase of the car.
Water pump started making noise at 70,000 miles .
General comments?
Put wider tires on for better handling.
Plenty of performance parts available.
Very comfortable and a smooth riding car.
Fun to drive.
The 3.8L is pretty slow endless you modify it .
