  • MY FIRST THUNDERBIRD - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    AS STATED, IT IS FUN TO DRIVE AND BE SEEN IN. ALTHOUGH TRUNK SPACE IS LIMITED, CAREFUL PACKING OF CLOTHES FOR TRIPS CAN EASILY BE ACCOMODATED. BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, THE RETRO INTERIOR STYLING BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF MORE GRACIOUS LIVING. WE THINK THE TURQOISE INSTRUMENT NEEDLES ETC. ARE WONDERFUL. SO FAR WE NOT ONLY LOVE THIS CAR BUT THOSE WHO SEE IT ARE VERY VERY COMPLIMENTARY ABOUT THE COLOR (MERLOT W/TAN SOFT TOP)AND THE STYLING.,

    I enjoy my tbird,but I have a few problems I didnt have looked into.When i go over a bump the car pulls to the right.The other problems are rattles behind the driver,I dont know if its the hardtop rattling,or if its the convertible top.

    I love my 2004 Vintage mint green Thunderbird in all ways but one.It has a 1 second hesitation upon acceleration,which I hate!From a dead stop off the line this 8 cylinder acts like a 4 cylinder!Once it gets going its a monster,but Ford needs to find a way to remedy this.Im tired of old ladies beating me off the line in their Saturns.If it was as responsive as my V8 jeep Cherokee upon acceleration I would be happy.It gets looks from all,old and young....

    I love driving this car down the street. Even after owning it for two years, and living in the suburbs of the "Motor City", its still a head- turner.

    We love driving this car. The only real complaint we have is that the visibility out the back can be difficult.
