  • My birthday present - 2004 Ford Thunderbird

    My husband bought this beautiful car for my birthday, it was the dealers show room model and I love everything about it, a dream car and I feel like a Princess when I drive into town. Thumbs up to Ford.

  • gas hog - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    this car is more fun than my 64 mustang, but sucks up high test gas like a sponge. One day on i-95, i barely touched the pedal & found myself doing 120mph. it cruises at 80mph & its the most comfortable car ive ever had.Miami to Palm Beach is 130miles roundtrip & it uses at least half a tank. if id known how much hightest gas it drank, i never would have bought it.but its a fantastic car otherwise!!! So if gas isnt a issue,buy one.

  • excellent head turner - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    I purchased this vechile in July 02. That Oct I drove the car to Fla. I averaged 29 mpg and avg. speed was 72 mph. Hwy mileage is excelent. City driving considering the v-8 is good (about 17)....... The interior is a little cramped (head room), but it is definitely a pleasure to drive. I am 57" if I were over 6 or 6"2" it would be tough to drive with the hardtop on

  • Amys review - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    I have only had my T-Bird for a couple of months but so far I absolutely love it. I cant wait to drive it every day especially as a convertible. My husband bought it for my 40th birthday and he compared it with the Mercedes and the BMWs, but he liked the T-Bird the best and so do I.

  • All rolled up into one package... - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Just enough nostalgia combined with techno-styling makes this elitist-type personal driving machine a lot of fun to own and drive. Lots of comfort, lots of aftermarket accessories to personalize you TBird. (continental wheel, groundworks, fender skirts, porthole logos, chrome bezels,wood dash inserts, etc.). If youre getting a front end cover ("bra"), make sure you get it from Ford because then it will have the TBird logo on it and looks pretty sharp.I have always driven interesting vehicles and this new TBird is right up there with most of them.

  • A Step back in time - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    The 2003 Ford Thunderbird is a joy to drive. The leg room in the drivers seat is quite comfortable even for a person over 62. An issue of importance since our last convertible did not have ample leg room. The ride is smooth and quiet. The retro look of the thunderbird makes the car.

  • T-Bird = a gift from heaven! - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    This card gains its superior ride from the Little Lincoln LS. The frame and drive train are exct Lincoln and that is why it is so good. The extra truck space and leg room come from the fact that the Lincoln LS is a 4 door car. Making a two door convertible from that plaform gave the design engineers lots of latitude. Stupid looking cheap plastic grill is this cars only problem. Too bad Ford didnt fire up more of the LS options like their mileage computer and other "free" features that are already built into the LS wiring harness.

  • Love My Bird - 2004 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    The Car is peppy and fun to drive. I haved owned a 55, 56, 58, 60, and a 63 T,bird. This new Bird gives you the same fun and enjoyment of driving the old TBirds and the comfort (a/c, cruise control, heated seats, rear window defogger, great sound system) and the technology of 2003.
