  • 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.).

    The car is fun to drive anywhere, whether it be in town or out in the country. People on the street or in cars next to it are always giving it a thumbs up and it fits in, in any circle. The trim inside and out might be a little subdued for some, but that is what the retro look is all about isnt it? A couple of my friends have BMW Z3 and a 3 series convertible and they are nice too, but they werent made to bring back that nostalgic feeling of old.

  • My Beautiful T-Bird - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Hello! I purchased my dream car last June. It is beautiful! My T-Bird is Torch Red with the black soft top and a matching Torch Red hard top. The interior is black with leather seats accented with the red. This car is awesome to drive and gets tons of attention no matter where I drive it. Best of all it offers the performance of a sports car and tons of fun. This is the best driving experience of my life. I love to drive it, day or night. And for the brisk spring and fall nights, those heated seats deliver the warmth to keep driving topless. I LOVE my Thunderbird! I highly recommend it!

  • The best car Ive ever owned - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    If you like the ride of a larger car and the fun of a convertible, this is the car for you. Every detail of fit and finish has exceeded my expectations. I have driven this car approximately 3,000 miles and with every mile I like it more. I cannot think of anything else that I have purchased recently that I can say that about. The engine performance is more than adequate. The handling is unbelieveable the car is so flat in the curves, no diving. The braking is superb. The acceleration is surprising. To put this car in perspective, I drove several other cars in the weeks leading up to this decision. The difference was so night and day against any other car that I drove, including an S-2000, MX-5, Z-4,

  • Best T-bird ever! - 2005 Ford Thunderbird
    By -

    Ive had four Thunderbirds before this an old 57 I bought used, an 84 Elan, an 88 Turbo Coupe, a 90 Super Coupe. I liked them all a lot, but the 05 is the best ever.

    I remember well the original T-Bird. At the time, I couldnt afford one, and by the time I could, it was upsized, downsized and removed from the market altogether. While not a true sports car, it is sporty enough for most conservative adults. It handles well on the road and is much quieter than you would expect from a convertible. On the downside, its not the best car for folks over 6 with the soft top. There is however plenty of headroom with the optional hard top. Definitely a head turner. If you dont like people constantly asking you about your car, you better not get one.
