  • Excellent ride - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    I have owned this T-Bird since October and just love the ride. Now that the weather is better (California) I have the top down most of the time. It has great pickup for that merge into highway traffic. The comfort is unbeatable. I have never owned a Ford and I am very impressed with the overall performance of this vehicle. Consider me SOLD.

  • Thunderbird - Great Idea, Poor Ford Planning - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    I love my Thunderbird. The exterior design is a eye stopper and its fun to drive, both with the hard top and the top down. Great performance holds the road well. Too bad Ford was cheap on the options for the price they ask. The Corvette offers a lot more options for the price. If Ford really wants to sell high end cars they need to add quality style and options on the car.

  • What goes bumpity-bump in the dark? - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    My Thunderbird is small for comfort in long trips (over two hours!). No space behind front seats, no trunk room. Bad design for rain. Drips inside if window is slightly open. Blind spot both sides. Cheaply done interior. Car has zip, is reliable, but would not purchase another one.

  • Thunderbirds are great to drive - 2005 Ford Thunderbird

    I bought my wife this car for our 35th wedding anniversary. We both really enjoy the ride and the style. It brings back a lot of memories about the 1950s T-birds. I really have had no problems with the car.

  • Thunderbird 2004 - Head turner - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    My Thunderbird will be a year old next month and I have really enjoyed this automobile. The top is easy to remove and comes with a storage rack that is also easy to move around and keep out of the way. I had been with MBs for the past 12 years, including an SLK, which was a complete nightmare. I find Fords quality and workmanship with this auto excellent. I wish they had offered a hybrid model, with gasoline reaching these high levels. However, as an owner, I love driving my TB around and about.

  • Fantastic TB - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Our Thunderbird convertible is so much fun to ride around in. It is a head turning, fantastic ride. If I had to do it over again, I would purchase the same car. My husband and I have a lot of fun driving around town and to the coast. We are trying to figure out how we can carry it with us when we begin full time camping. We will find the answer to this problem as the car will go with us.

  • Fun from the past! - 2005 Ford Thunderbird

    Great design for a sports car. Wonderful to drive, driving out of the past and back to the future. I have always wanted a vintage Tbird now I have that car with todays features.

  • Limited Edition 2005 T-bird - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Most enjoyable vehicle I have ever owned. The limited edition medal flake paint job is stunning in the sunlight. Surprisingly quiet with the top down. Even at highway speeds a normal conversation is possible. This vehicle has more than enough power and handling through hills and curves never disappoints. Now that this is the last year of production I am tempted to buy a second one while they still are available.

  • Extraordinary Vehicle - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    My wife and I purchased this extraordinary vehicle for two reasons. The first beauty (this is a beautiful car). Second speed (you cant go wrong with 280 H.P.).
