1992 Ford Thunderbird Base review from North America
"Rather sporty car, even if slow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced #1 and #2 cylinder fuel injectors at $60 USD per injector.
Replaced Water Pump at $45 USD.
General comments?
The Thunderbird is rather underpowered for the size of the car. The Normally Aspirated 3.8 Liter V-6 only makes 140 horsepower.
The front disc/rear drum brake combination works well.
The suspension is too soft for extreme high performance driving, but it will do.
The 3.8 Liter gets 20 MPG City/27 MPG Highway.
