  Red T-Bird - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Kurt - June 10 - 9:47 pm

  I absolutely love my T-Bird. I put 5,000 miles on it in the first 3 months. The ride can be a little soft at times, but it corners like a dream. Plenty of horsepower. I traded in my 02 Mustang GT for the T-Bird and there is no comparison. The T-bird has a better ride, is more fun to drive, and gets 10 times more looks and comments. Also, the waves from other T-Bird owners is nice.

  Fords step child - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By DrtiBird - June 10 - 7:00 pm

  Most enjoyable car I have ever owned. I bought an 02 Thunderbird, but when I found out that 05 would be the last year it will be offered I traded my 02 for the newer. I think this car would have been a really big seller if Ford had just promoted it half as much as the Mustang!

  Shelleys thoughts - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By shelley Klaner - June 10 - 1:42 pm

  Ii used to own a Mercedes and said I would never own a Ford after bad experiences with a Mustang in the 1970s. I absolutely love this car. It handles better than my Mercedes, is solid, comfortable and the car actually makes me feel good. The only negative I have found is that it is hard to park because it is wide and it is hard to visualize the sides and the depth when parking. But besides that it was a great choice.

  Bondo - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Bill Bond - June 10 - 11:14 am

  Great looking car, real head turner. Too bad the dealers got greedy when this car came out charging as much as $10,000 over sticker because of availability. Now they have marketing problem because people think they are more expensive than they actually are.

  This Car Will Get You Noticed - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Ben - June 5 - 12:41 am

  This is my wifes car and she just loves it. It turns more heads than a Corvette. If you want attention and comfort and a quality built car then this is it. If you want to carry groceries or kids then this car isnt for you. The car style is not overly aggressive or cheap and I believe it will stand the test of time in style. All the ladies in her group love it. My wife has finally got the "Car Craze" bug because of this T-Bird. Its cheaper than the Corvette as well and I believe more fun in the long haul.

  Sweet Ride - Poor Marketing - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Mojohio - June 3 - 6:11 pm

  This car is my dream car. It has wonderful handling and great style.The acceleration is excellent its not neck snapping, but it is very strong. This was not designed as a dragster, but as a cruiser and it serves that purpose to perfection. Ford dealers did themselves a disservice by adding the "dealers premium" charge to the sticker price and Ford didnt help by delaying the availability as long as they did when they were introduced. The T-bird did not meet sales expectations due to those reasons plus a virtually non-existent ad campaign. I bought mine in July,04 its an 03 that languished on the lot for a year. I bought it new for $9500 UNDER sticker. I could not be happier with the auto.

  50th on my 50th B-Day! - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Jerry - June 3 - 5:03 pm

  Ever since I was a kid growing up in the Detroit Suburbs & going to the Ford Employees summer Day camps at the Ford Rouge & assembly plants, Greenfield Village and the Ford Test Track seeing those cool convertible T-bird of the late 50s and early 60s at the Ford Rotunda Building (burnt down in mid 60s), did I want my own Ford Thunderbird Convertible. And although I have owned over 25 Ford, Mercury or Lincoln cars since my first Pinto at age 16 have I finally got my wish. On my 50th Birthday, I drove down to the nearest Ford Dealer that had the Gold 50th Anniversary T-Bird and I bought it!

  My Car "The T-Bird" - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Richard L. Trythall - June 1 - 3:33 pm

  Performance is a great feeling car responds well. Good handling & sensitive steering. Could be quicker through the gears. Seating a little stiff for long trips or a few hours of steady driving. Limited visibility when hardtop is on - tough to back up safely, as port holes dont help much. Great with the top down, or hardtop off. Car needs some kind of protection on the sides for parking purposes if you dont want dents or scratches. Seat belt arrangement could be better. Dont like boot cover for behind the seat. Car turns a lot of heads & gets many neat remarks. A fun car to own & drive.

  nice car - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By tlfmd - May 31 - 2:08 pm

  Eye catching, smooth and truly a style show. Trunk is a obligation, not a storage compartment, as the tonneau cover fills it up. Consider where youre gonna store the top in the summer
