1996 Ford Thunderbird Reviews
| “The Big 'bird” Reviewing:
1996 Used Ford Thunderbird 2 Dr LX Coupe
Performance is very solid for a car that's 12 years old and weighs in at around 3500 pounds. It's been mistaken for a cop car, and gets the tires spinning pretty well. Ride is comfortable yet the car feels precise and handles well, with a tight turning radius for its size. Quiet, comfortable, looks are appealing if understated. Exhaust could be a little more agressive-sounding, and a swap to the DOHC Lincoln V8 would provide a nice boost in performance.
Pros —
Acceleration, Handling, Fit and Finish, Price
Cons —
Weight, Gas Mileage, Automatic

Once again rattly, shaky peices after a while with a Ford, but it had good performace, easy to drive.
Pros —
Performace
Cons —
Build quality, not easy to see out of - like you're sitting in a bucket like with the mustang.

| “They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore.” Reviewing:
1996 Used Ford Thunderbird 2 Dr LX Coupe
I bought this vehicle in 2003 and I am the second owner. Bought this thing with 117K now its at about 138K. Straight pipes out the back for that deep rumble and K&N direct intake. I just recently took it out of storage. It sat unused and a bit smashed up from 2005 to 2007 but its back and better than ever. Chris Hardtke and I fixed all the flaws and made it quite presentable. New sound all around with Pioneer speakers and 2 12's in the trunk. USB flash drive head unit and I'm good to go. Very quick. I have been on a few police ride alongs and I think this one is faster and quicker than the Crown Vic police package. Current speed limiter at about 115 but I'm working on getting the Hypertech programmer. I try to keep up on all the mechanical aspects and rust as well, but i don't drive it very much. The roads must be salt free and try to be dry before I even bother with it. My Sundance is my everyday car and close to my heart as well.
Pros —
Very powerful, engine sounds deep and mean, turns some heads, soundsystem is at perfection, perfect gear ratio, interior is cozy and roomy with digital climate control, 8 way power seat
Cons —
No Posi, engine speed limiter, sun roof broke and leaks, hood should be built up a few more inches, stupid LED tail lights work when they want(made by HP), these cars aren't very valuable with high miles, paint on spoiler is chipping everywhere
