    We own the 2003, Desert Sky-blue Hardtop. Fun to drive, we love the car. Have had many differnt Fords during our driving lifetime. Still have a 72,A/C,351 Cleveland Eng, conv. red/white,outstanding to org. soft top. Both in our local parade this year. Hard to decide which one to drive! All models have their shorcomings, the T-Bird..not many.

  • Day One Review - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Drove the car about 100 miles with the top down in the Washington,DC suburbs. The car has great looks and styling. This car is fun to drive. The 280 horsepower from the 3.9L V8 engine gives plenty of power from both a standing start and when passing on the highway. The 17 inch V rated performance tires keep the car glued to the road.

  • Its a neat car - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    I have owned this car for over 8 months and I find it one to the best cars Iv ever owned. I think the car got a bum rap when it was first interduced when the Dealers were trying to get an 25 to 30% more because it was a new car on the market. Than Ford Motor could not deliver the T-birds because of production problem. It left a bad teast in the mouth of the buyers that wanted one. There is one bad guy in this whole marketing program and thats Ford Motor because its a great car and Ford just dropped the ball

  • Awesome - 2004 Ford Thunderbird

    The new Ford Thunderbird is fantastic.I have been trying to decide upon a car for a year. I could not find anything that had style, class, power. Then a friend had mentioned the Thunderbird (I hadnt even considered it). I test drove one and bought it the next day. I couldnt turn it down. I loved it soo much.I didnt even take the hard top off to see the conv. side to the car. I love it.........

    Nicest car I have ever owned or driven and yes I have owned foreign cars.

  • Fun Car - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Enjoy the comfort and style T-bird brings to driving. Performs on a dime.Does need more trunk room. When handling on the road this car size and weight is more comfortable than many other cars in its class.

  • I LOVE MY T-BIRD - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    THE T-BIRD IS A GREAT CAR TO DRIVE. PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE INSIDE AND A BEAUTY ON THE OUTSIDE. I ALWAYS WANTED A T-BIRD WHEN I WAS A KID, NOW I FINALY GOT THE CHANCE TO OWN ONE. GET ONE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

  • Wouldnt Drive Anything but my TBird - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    After extensive research among all convertibles in the TBIRD class, I chose Fords Hardtop Thunderbird Convertible because of how well it handled on the road. I went from a Lincoln Navigator (still in the garage) to the TBIRD, and found the TBIRD to be so much fun to drive. I can get 2 complete sets of golf clubs in the trunk. The TBIRD is larger than most sportscars and the insurance isnt based on a "sportscar", just a sedan. The doors are long. Seating is comfortable, and I have had ZERO problems with my "TBIRD". Its wonderful. Wouldnt change my mind, even if someone tempted me with a free Audi TT...
