1995 Ford Thunderbird SC review from North America
"I would definitly buy my T-bird SC again if given the chance.. I love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went on this car after owning it just 1 month. (I was even warned about this potential problem, and I still bought the car)
Shocks and struts on all four corners had to be replaced at 190,000 Kilometers.
Alternator replaced once, but who's alternator doesn't breakdown.
Drive belt (serpentine belt) broke at start-up leaving me stranded at my work parking lot.
General comments?
The reason I bought this car was for its looks and major power (definitely not because of the manufacturer)
This car always recieves a second look when I'm on the road. People just love looking at it.
Power generated by the 3.8 liter V6 engine is unbelievably quick even though this car weighs a lot theres now problem reaching top speed.
The interior is extremely spacious in the front and what I love the most is the ability to fold down the back seats to allow any type of long object into this car. (bike, snowboard, 2x4 lumber, etc.)
Taking this car at high speed around corners is no fun as the car tends to sway way to much for my liking.
This car also comes with an electronic suspension control which I find annoying when set to " firm ride" car feels to bumpy at this level.
Factory sound system is great if you like to enjoy your music...
