  Good, but not Great. - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By norbert - August 14 - 2:52 pm

  It is Great looking, and it is fun to drive. Still, Ford could have made it a more solid car - lots of rattles after only two weeks.

  Thunderbird ... great concept, but thats it - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By frank in chicago - August 1 - 1:28 am

  The style is flawless, a definite head turner, excellent performance -- but it ends there. Ford stopped there, the inside needs help. Why cheapen an expensive car like this. With all the technology out there, they decided to give it just the basics. And Ford wonders why it cant sell cars.

  nice choice - 2005 Ford Thunderbird

  Having come out of an Audi TT I was at first disappointed in the workmanship, especially interior quality. It has stood up very well however and it seems to have lost its chintz factor as I got used to it strange.

  Nice Care with some design flaws - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Dave - July 6 - 1:23 am

  Beautiful Car! I love to drive it. Chose it over a Z-4. Large doors for easy access but become problems when parked in garage or parking lot. Interior plastic could be much better quality. Bottle holders on arm rest really get in the way. Performance is exceptional and will leave everything on the road behind. Golf clubs fit in trunk. Sound system is outstanding. Dealership was excellent, especially pricing. Options needed include day/night automatic mirrors and heated outside mirrors. If I had to do it over, would probably buy the BMW 3 Series convertible.

  Thunderbird - Great Idea, Poor Ford Planning - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By frank - May 7 - 3:59 pm

  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.

  I LOVE MY TBIRD - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By mayra V. Perez - March 30 - 11:10 pm

  It is a fun car to drive and if you are a people person you will love it. I must meet about four people a week that want to talk about the car! I love the way it drives and handles smooth.

  Bird up - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Dan - January 22 - 9:38 pm

  Calm, cool, and collected. Thats the way this car rides. Not loud or proud, just right. I have the all black and when the sun is out, there is nothing more fun than this car.

  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.

  Fun Car that has and gets looks. - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By LAGUNA7 - November 17 - 9:16 am

  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....
