    This car is not only beautiful. It is fun to drive and preforms apond a split second. 0 to 123 mph in under 60 sec. I know for a fact. (done it) For only a 2 person car the aventure is surreal. I love my T-Bird. Pearl White w/black inter.

    I have owned many fun cars from AH sprite to Vets and even a Shelby 350GT the new Thunderbird is by far the most fun to drive and most bang for the buck. This is the first car that ever made me want the work week to end so I can take what my wife and I call "Getting the bird out of its cage for a flight" Congrads Ford you did it right!!!

    I find the t-bird to be an excellent cruiser. It has better riding quality than the so called sport cars. It gathers a lot of attention whereever I go. With the removeable top I really have two cars, although there should be device marketed to lift the top as it requires 2 persons to remove it. The mileage is good and a pleasure to drive.

    It has been a great car for us for the last almost 2 years. Almost not problems except for a few minor fixes.

    The bird has been my toy now for 6 months and im still not totally convinced its the car I was looking for.It is a fun car to criuse with and get neat comments,but it is not for any adreniline speed junkies.The handeling is fair,along with just adequate power to play with. Ford should offer the car with a six speed and better handling qualities.The build quality is apparent along with a nicely appointed interior.

    I was expecting a Mustang wtih a fancy body but the new T-Bird in not a Mustang. Even with a short 104" wheelbase, its suspenion smooths out the road. Everything works flawlessly. I dont know why Ford does not advertise this model more.

    Having owned several Thunderbirds previously,Ford really hit the mark this time. Besides being a fun car to drive, the styling is unique combining the old with the new.The ride is better than you would expect. With the hardtop in place the ride is better than average.The handling is excellent,considering this really is a relaxed cruiser. Its also comfortable and fairly quiet. As for the issue of not enough trunk space, you dont buy a car like this if you want a lot of trunk space. All in all this car is certainly a welcome change.This car is not exactly sluggish either. Its got plenty of pep.
