  • 2002 Thunderbird Convertible - 2002 Ford Thunderbird

    If you loved your Dads TBird, this is the car for you! Once I got it, I didnt even mind the price. We get a lot of attention. The car responds like a dream and I love to hear the roar of a V8 again. Dont mind the two seater - this is not a car for the kids anyway. This car makes you feel too young to have kids.

  • The Best Bird - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Well worth waiting for, even if it took almost a year. A pleasure to drive. A real show stopper, literally. Have been flagged down on numerous occasions. Got the "arrest-me" Red and dont regret it. Its by far the best color of them all, and not just my opinion. Could use heated seats though!

  • 2002 THUNDERBIRD - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Most fun car I have ever owned. Previous cars have been Mustangs, Pontiac GTO and Camaro. The new Thunder Bird provides the fun/looks of the old 2 seat birds with modern technology and reliability. I love it.

  • A Great Fun Car! - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    nothing beats this car if you are looking for a fun, cool, smooth ride! Besides the looks and sares and thumbs up you get while driving - the car is really comfortable and smooth - Stereo is great with top up or down - Hard top removal needs two people . Conv top works great - HUGE trunk!!!! Seriously for a car like this - the tunk is functional - Try getting that many grocery bags in a boxter or z3 or miatia - If yo love the way it looks - Youll love the way it drives -

  • Love My New T-bird - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Drove past the dealer and saw my new T- bird. Knew it was mine before I bought it. I love the ride and the feeling I get when driving it. Draws lots of looks and filling up with gas is fun. Attendants just stand ans stare at the car. I usually find a crowd around it when I return to wherever I park it.

  • A Dream Fulfilled - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    ...if you have to ask, you couldnt possibly understand. Ive been looking at classified ads for 57 Tbirds for years. This car is as close as I will get, and Im embarassed as to the extent to which it is one of the great joys of my life.

  • Easily The Best Car Ive Ever Driven - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    This car is unbelievable. It handles like a go-kart but the ride is smooth. The 3.9 litre V-8 sounds like a Formula 1 engine as it approaches the almost 7000 rpm redline. It is fast but very refined. The styling literally draws a crowd everywhere I go. I have driven or owned cars of every type and this is the best. I bought it to resell but Im keeping it!

  • Instant Classic - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    A pleasure to drive and a head-turner! Had to wait 13 months from the time myh order was placed, but well worth the wait. Only car I ever bought that was worth more when I drove it off the dealers lot. Only downside is lack of fuel economy, but I bought it for pleasure and not daily driving.

  • Overpriced, overhyped piece of scrap. - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    My husband bought this car for me, and I was shocked to learn its a $50,000 car. For the engine I got and the styling of the ride, its worth probably half that amount. The Ford hype-machine lives on, and definitely reeled my husband in, hook-line-and- sinker.

  • Best Bird Yet. - 2002 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    The new Bird is the best. I have owned 4 over the past 15 years. The ride is wonderful. I sold my 1999 Corvette because of the ride quality. The T-Bird beats it hands down.
