  • My Third Bird/More Fun Than The Rest - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Great Road Car and fun to drive. Dont see yourself coming and going either. Been totally trouble free. Its a people magnet, too!

  • My Childhood Dream Car Come True - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Since I was a child, I wanted a 50s T- Bird, and now that I have my black on black 2002, all of my dreams have been realized. She turns heads wherever I take her. The chrome wheels together with the chrome trim around the windshield really set the car off. It is more responsive than my Mustang GT. Honestly my most favorite of all the vehicles Ive ever owned.

    The car has performed flawlessly with absolutely no service requirements other than oil changes in the 15,000 miles I have driven it. The only problem I have encountered is hitting my head on the hardtop as I enter the car when it is on. The car attracts much admiring attention from both young and old wherever we go. Trunk could be bigger, but it does haul two suitcases plus several small packages.

  • Fun, Fun, Fun - 2002 Ford Thunderbird

    Inherited this little beauty from my godmother with only 3k miles on it - I cant believe now that I tried to talk her out of buying it! (She and her husband had matching 55s in their day). The "Bird" helped to make her last few months more enjoyable, and will now give me several years of enjoyment. Great vehicle performance, and what a head turner!

    Best and most fun car a 50 year old could want!

  • Most Fun Ive Driven in Years - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Got rid of an XJ8VDP for this car. I own a 96 Red XJS that is supposed to be my summer fun car - BUT - This car gets more looks, comments and thumbs up than the Jaguar (mine is Yellow with the two-tone yellow black interior). SHARP. Best surprise was power and performance - way better than I expected and cheap to maintain. Plus now that they are going bye-bye itll be even a rarer sight. Not a practical car as far as 2 seater, shallow trunk.

  • I Love My T-Bird - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    My 2002 Red Ford T-Bird (hard top and convertible) is the most wonderful car I have ever owned. It is fun to drive and I just love the fact that after 2 and1/2 years, people still stop and comment on what a gorgeous car it is and how wonderful it is that Ford brought the car back. I always wanted the 1955 T-bird, but could not afford it, and when I finally could, my husband objected to buying such an old car. As soon as he saw the 2002 T-Bird he bought it for me and gave it to me as a surprise. The car looks good, drives like a dream and is fun to be in and be seen in.Thank you for bringing it back.

  • Best Bird I Have Owned - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    This is my 6th T-Bird and my best so far. Ive owned an 84, 87, 89, 90, 95, and 2002. This Bird is a dream to drive and to look at. I think others feel the same way. We get looks from other drivers every time we are on the road. For me, this car is going to be a keeper forever. It is a comfort to drive on long trips and not bad on gas either. The handling is good its not a sports car but a very nice driver. It looks its best with the hard top on but its the most fun to drive with the soft top down on a warm summers day. There are better performing cars on the road but none have the classy look of this Thunderbird. I always wanted a 57 but this one fits the bill for me. Its just One Great Car

    Ive wanted a T0-Bird since I was a child and the T-Bird was new -- finally got it! Im not disappointed in the least -- talk about the looks! As another reviewer said, be prepared for total strangers to ask all sorts of questions. Ive even been stopped by a couple of cops just so they could get a better look at it.
