1995 Ford Thunderbird V8 review from North America

I had to replace both the upper and lower ball joints at about 140,000 miles.

The radiator tank cracked and had to be replaced at about the same time as the ball joints.

Heating Core went out (not yet replaced as I live in a hot area of the US!) at about 132,000 miles.

Alternator also went out at the same time as Heating core, although I believe this was due to a faulty battery and not the car itself.

I have had to replace both control arms.

Shocks and struts where replaced at 129,000 miles.

Brakes are a constant money zapper, rotors and calipers have been replaced and I go through Brake Pads like tissue, although I'm not the best driver.

Although it has cost me a pretty penny to maintain, it has over 145,000 miles on it (more or less, the odometer stopped working)

It is great for city traffic, getting you to a fast speed quickly.

One of the big downsides of this car is that it guzzles gas. But what do you expect from a 10 year old V8?!
