Ford Thunderbird

Price Paid:  $40000.00 from Villa Ford, Orange,

Summary:
Good car until cab filled completely with smoke from the heater defroster in April 2003. Couldn't really used the heater defroster afterwards, due to the smell. Tech Service Data Sheet report: Sulpher smell in cab, under load.

Weaknesses:
Dealership or My Ford customer service no help. Drive the car another 5K miles and the smell should go away (current miles 10,500). No concern expressed for the drivers health during that period. Have been experiencing numerous sore throats since April 2003.

Price Paid:  $0.00

2003 Convertible, 5 speed automatic

Summary:
I rented it for the weekend nad now I am willing to give up my Town Car for it. After 3 days of steady mountain driving I was not sore anywhere. The car handled extremely well on the curvy and narrow mountain roads. The exceleration when needed was like a turbo kicking in. I previously owned a '59 T-Bird and this is so much better. It out handles any BMW or Mercedes two seater I have driven

Strengths:
Tight steering control, exceleration and relatively good mileage considering the type of driving.

Weaknesses:
Couldn't find one.

Summary:
I love my red T-Bird. Its red, sexy looking and fun to drive. I always get compliments on it. My husband said its a chick car. I have to agree. I keep telling him I'd like to do a topless run. Its comfortable driving everywhere and anywhere. I occassionally let my 18 year old daughter drive it so she can show it off. I do not let my car sit. It's for driving, not storing.

Strengths:
Love the V-8! The faster you go the better it feels. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Weaknesses:
none i can think of.
