1992 Ford Thunderbird Sport 2dr Coupe
The only problems that I have had with
this car are regular maintenance issues,
ie: O2 sensors, plugs etc.

1992 Ford Thunderbird 2dr Coupe
I bought this car in 2002 and have had minor problems. I've replaced the alternator, brake pads/shoes, battery, and tires. The rear axle has a slight leak. The car needs antifreeze filled every few months. I want to install new headlights because mine are very yellow. Also changed transmission fluid last summer. All warning lights work!

Freebird, 01/16/2004
1991 Ford Thunderbird LX 2dr Coupe
When I found my t-bird, it was owned
by an ironworker who did not know
what he had. It was a 1991
thunderbird sport, and he sold it to
me for 1,200 dollars in cash. I
bought it when I was 16 and have
never had any problems with it. The
gas economy is a bit poor, but that is
due to a H.O. 302 stuffed under the
hood from ford. I am very pleased
with every feature of … this car,
expecially the horsepower and
acceleration! If you ever have the
chance to buy a t-bird, DO IT!!!!

Unreliable but Fun to Drive
TbirdSC, 10/29/2003
1991 Ford Thunderbird SC 2dr Coupe
I ordered the my T-bird SC new. So far
it's been the most enjoyable car I've
driven. It has a unique blend of
performance and comfort. The vehicle is
roomy and rides well. It handles like a
much smaller car. It's a cross between
a luxury car and muscle car.
Unfortuantely I've had numerous
problems with the vehicle from the very
first week. This resulted in an …
alarming 90+ service invoices over
10yrs for problems outside of regular
maintenance. The vehicle remains a very
enjoyable and fun car to drive.
Although the reliability has left me
with a somewhat tarnished image of this
product.
