What Owners are Saying About the 2002 Ford Thunderbird
"A fun car to drive"
"I am a small person 5' 2' female so I have no problems getting in / out of the car. I only use my car for weekends or car shows. I never purchased to use as a main car. My car is red with deluxe red/ black interior. I love the V8. People compliment my car everywhere I go. It is the most fun car that I have ever owned. The hardtop is a bit unwieldy to put on but mainly I use the soft top which works quickly and easily. I love everything about my beloved "Rory" and could never imagine selling her. Never out in rain or snow. The few cars I have ever seen are in genuinely nice condition so I suspect most owners are taking very good condition of them. I have owned several '57 birds but this 2003 is much more fun and comfortable to drive. I don't see too many of them. Can have battery issue if undriven for several days which is my only complaint. I keep on a battery tender."
"Good value"
"Styling is excellent. Everyone comments on the car wherever i go. I prefer the looks of the hardtop over the power soft top. It drives nice but pretty stiff on bumpy roads. Ford didnt build this car for big people. Im 6 ft 220 and the car seems small."
"Great Car! Fun to Have!"
"I LOVE my '02 TBird. It runs well and looks FAB. I do wish it was a little more comfortable for road trips of over 250 miles. Surprisingly, the Bird does have a fairly roomy truck, which I am always pleased with, and I love driving it around, as I always get compliments on its styling and beauty. It is dependable and very easy to drive, and maintenance is a breeze!!"
