1996 Ford Thunderbird LX Sports Coupe from North America - Comments

"A great midsize coupe for people that want performance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first got the car the odometer read 42,000 miles but I found out by a sticker on the door jam that it actually had 64,000 miles on it.

The left headlight is clouded up, I think a motor mount is out.

The tires are not that great they could be better.

General comments?

A great car to drive especially on the highway. It's not really the fastest car on the road but with a few modifications I think it will be able to hang with the best of them. It has a load of torque but not a lot of HP, I'm just gonna have to change that.

Girls love my car, they think it's cool. I've gotten my car up to 115 miles per hour, it hit 4th gear at 100 mph. Great fun car for anyone.

I own a 1995 with the 4.6L. I've owned it since new. I now have 194,000 miles on. This is the best car I've ever owned in 31 years of driving. I feel it has more than adequate torque and power. A very comfortable ride, very competent handling. I never plan to get rid of this car. The reliability has been outstanding, the gas mileage has been great, sometimes 30+.

The 1956 Thunderbird will never get 30 mpg. This comment was ridiculous. 17mpg is more like it. The biggest problem with this car is the transmission. I get a shudder in 3rd gear at round 30 mph. I've put special oil in, but it didn't help much. Also the brakes are too small for the size of the car and need to be watched.
