Thinking Of Getting A New One. — not the best handeling car... but its pretty quick in a straight line.Breaks could be better. It needed the roters replaced at under 18000 mi. andk several coil packs went bad... it was under warranty though. it looks pretty good and i look good driving it. its a horrible gass guzzeler... that may just be the way i drive it though.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Ugly, But Fun — I have never liked the look of this car, but my uncle got one and let me drive, and I loved driving it! It almost handled like a sports car. I did a burnout 180 in the middle of the road in it.

Really tight on space inside, steering feels numb

Quality Sports Car — Great retro styling, but not too retro like the PT Cruser. Real metal trim on the interior and comfortable, yet firm seats. Very nimble handling, although response is limited. Great performance and great sound. Overall a great luxury sports car. I'ts a shame they didn't sell well.

Retro T-bird Ok, But No Classic By Luger

The retro-Birds are nice looking and average performers, but they miss being either a luxury car or a sports car. The trunk is so shallow that there is little storage. Ford got the retro part right,... Read More
