  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

  Excellent ride - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By skmarin - May 12 - 11:51 pm

  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.

  Thunderbirds are great to drive - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
  By pat noon - April 17 - 12:39 am

  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 Robert Snow - April 16 - 12:09 pm

  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.
