    Fun to drive and resonably priced. Comfortable, sleek design. Classy car! The thing that we like alot is that its production is limited, so its not all over the place. You dont see one every time you turn your head!

  • A secret car.....if you only knew - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    We purchased this car, after one year of reviewing other possibilities. What a great purchase. Love it, love it...and guess what, I have never had a car that other car owners wanted to talk about as much as this T Bird. We have added 18" wheels & custom rims which make it standout. Quick and fun to drive. This is the last year they are making the T Bird, so I think it will hold its value.

  • AWESOME!!!HAVING A BLAST - 2004 Ford Thunderbird

    Just bought the T-bird in the Merlot color and Black Ink interior. What a beautiful car. Just took the hard top off today(4-24). It was a toss up between the T-bird and the Z34. Since my other car is a BMW530i, I didnt really want another BMW. Glad I got the T=bird. The seats could be a little more comfortable, but Im not really complaining. Maybe I just havent found the right angles yet.

    Recently purchased a 2004 Merlot with Sand package. I have 2 other Thunderbirds, a 56 and a 66 that are show cars. I wasnt that fond of the new style when it first came out, but I grew to like it. When I saw the car in the Merlot color, I jumped off the fence and bought one. The performane was a little surprising. It really flys....I really liked the 2002 Tbird Blue, but didnt want to buy a first-year model.

  • Dream Car for Bill - 2004 Ford Thunderbird

    What a dream to drive! My wife tells me I drive better now than ever before. But its the ease of handling of the T- Bird not my driving ability. There is plenty of power when you need it and the responce to your needs is so silky smooooth its unbelievable. The ride is excellent and the comfort decent. The controls are not fancy but practical and accessible. It is a looker! Heads turn all the time as Im driving to work--I drive it every chance I get. Try one! I guarentee you love driving it.
