What Owners are Saying About the 1992 Ford Thunderbird

"Nice reliable and long-lasting V8"

"Rear wheel drive, not good in snow. V8 power, nice comfortable ride, ample trunk, 4 wheel independent suspension with anti lock breaks. Sporty and luxurious, Find all that in a car today and you will be buying a BMW, or Mercedes.."

"Very reliable !!!"

"My best car ever has been very reliable and handles great. Accelerates quickly! My husband said if they still made them..he would buy one!!"

"Great car for someone who travels a lot."

"When you travel in this car, all the controls are where you expect them to be. I have driven this car all over the country usually averaging about 27 MPG. With regular maintenance, this car has gone 295,000 miles and is still ready to go some more. Great accelaration with the 4.6L V8 and very smooth ride at highway speeds. Multi-direction power seats adjust to the smallest changes, great A/C (in Florida), overall great looks, fun to drive. Poor handling in snowy or icy conditions because it is too light in the rear to keep traction. After seventeen years, it is starting to show some rust and the paint is starting to flake. Great value for a car that lasts this long!"
