1996 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"Comfy, and Sporty, but not to hard to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater core leaked, stop leak 3 times worked finally. Replaced brakes, Transmission bolts loose and fluid leaked, but bolts tightened and leaks no more. Front left starting to make noise, may need to replace struts. Ignition switch getting worn.
General comments?
Considering the mileage this car has, it's in good shape. No tears in interior (cloth) Sun faded a little, but it's to be expected since it sits in it during the day in the desert of Washington State.
Car is driven at least 53 miles one way to work. Probably around 30 on weekends.
