1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"One of the best cars ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New turbo needed, new clutch, other than that just regular maintenance.
General comments?
The best car I have ever driven. Amazing performance for a four cylinder. Handles beautifully. Looks very sharp.
I'm glad to see there are others out there who turn away from the usual Trans Ams and Camaros and give this car a try, because it truly is a great car. I will do whatever it takes to keep this car in top condition.
