1993 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Best purchase I could have ever made."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at 107,000.
Brakes and rotors wear fast.
Headlight switch has been replaced twice.
General comments?
This car handles on a tight mountain curve like a dream. The handling and overall performance of the car is wonderful, even with only a 3.8 Liter V6 under the hood. Overall, this Thunderbird has been a joy to own. Brakes and rotors are minor issues when you commute in traffic 200 miles a day, so I do not fault the car. The second transmission has finally give out at 252,000 miles. I will replace this transmission and continue on to 300,000 after I let her rest a little while!
