1994 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"If the transmission is good, they are great cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
$2000 tranny rebuild @ 66000 really hurt. Spoke with Ford reps and all they could say is sorry.
Horrible whine when I start the car. Something with the vacuum.
Minor rust beginning to show up on the corners of the doors.
General comments?
Besides the transmission, I love the car. It still could shift better.
Very fast and powerful. Rides down the freeway @ 85 like you are on your sofa watching TV.
Would not buy a Ford unless it was a performance car like a T-bird, Mustang, or truck.
