Jun 9, 2024
Beautiful design and great driving vehicle. Very comfortable but little hard for older person to get into and out of.
Oct 29, 2021
I have a 2005 50th anniversary edition. 93,000 miles. Great car, fun to drive all original (except tires and brakes) gives no trouble and gets around 18 mpg around town.
Oct 4, 2021
I personally dont like the white hard top on the red car. The monotone exterior is usually the sleekest.
Sep 12, 2009
Love the style, comfort and
performance.
The T-bird is a "soft" sports car, it is
fun
to drive, it has great acceleration and is
a
perfect highway cruiser. Very, very
reliable, and cheap to maintain. Ford's
quality is for real!
Oct 4, 2020
The 05 T-Bird is as advertised. Fun to drive and in great condition. These Birds seem to keep their value.

Overview
The 2005 Ford Thunderbird continued the two-seater tradition with its typical sharp-yet retro-convertible. Considered a luxury vehicle, prices for a new T-Bird started in the high 30's.
The standard engine was a 3.9-liter V8. The engine is a little loud, as is typical for V8's, but the all-around drive is fun and smooth.
The car pays proper respect to its predecessors, with round headlights over a grille that can look like it's either smiling or snarling, depending on how fast the little roadster is coming up behind you.
