1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"This has been a great car for a sticker price of $21,500.00"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The manifold has gone bad a couple times. The Ford dealers have covered it for me both times and I have never had to pay out of pocket for the repair.
General comments?
The style of the car is great. I still get complements on it where ever I may go.
The red paint has held up great in the sun and heat in Mobile, Alabama.
The leather seats are as comfy today as they were when it was new.
The moon roof has never, till this day, given me a single problem. It slides back and forth as if it were fresh from the factory. Never, have I seen a drop of water seep in.
The engine is the 4.6 liter and has the best power. If ever needed, the passing power is always there.
