  Love My Bird! - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By sivyaleah - July 14 - 2:40 pm

  Im no expert by any means, but all I know is each time I look at our car, I love it even more! It drives pretty well, feels great at high speeds, has been reliable too. Looks great and thats the most important reason we bought it. We have the merlot, with merlot soft top, black interior. Car gets a lot of comments - many people think its vintage at first glance.

  I bought a Ford? - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Jason - July 8 - 3:07 am

  I have loved this car before it ever hit the dealership. I knew I would have one myself someday and now that day has come. I love the way heads turn and people ask What is that car?. As i always have had a sport luxury coupe, I do miss that luxury ride though. A lot of that has to do with the many manhole covers and poor roads in Idaho. I plan on keeping this car to pass down to my niece (10 yrs old now), for she thinks it will be hers to drive once receiving her drivers license. That all remains to be seen. But I must say I love this car. I love many others as well, but knowing of Thunderbirds demise, I just had to have one of the last, so I bought an 04 with everything.

  TBird - Best Performance Value - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By RobTBird - June 29 - 3:44 pm

  Have had great fun with the TBird. Everywhere I go people comment how nice it looks - from parking garage attendants to people walking on the street. Distinctive, rare look. Fast convertible top raising or lowering. High performance V-8, 390 HP, for low $30s. Cant beat the performance & price

  T-BIRD - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By ART VAN DELAY - June 16 - 11:39 pm

  Fun to drive, they did this right. This car is tight. Well appointed, I love this car. Ive had over 50 automobiles. Had 66 Corvette, 56 T-bird they were great. This car is simply fun, and a good buy. Used theyre relatively cheap, will only go up in value over the years. How many cars can you say that about?

  A fun car - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By Steven - June 15 - 7:59 pm

  I bought my T-bird last month, after thinking about it for several years now. Its a fun car to drive, gets a lot of attention on the road. Handling is great, as is acceleration.

  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.
