This is the best car I have ever bought. I bought it used in 1999 with 52000 miles on it. Now it has 129500 miles and has only been in the shop twice other than oil changes. Mine has the 4.6 liter V8 and at 104000 miles the air intake manifold started leaking antifreeze. This was a defect on this engine. It was made of plastic but Ford pays to replace it from a recall that came out. The new one is made of cast metal. The only other problem I encountered was a leak in the fuel line by the fuel tank and had the section of line replace. The front brakes went out at 116000 miles and I am still operating on the original rear brakes.

We bought this car when it was about two years old. It had around 29,000 miles on it. My husband still has it and it is being handed down to my teenage daughter. My son put fake sporty things on the hood (I'm not into those things but it makes it look like the car has a powerful engine.) Anyway, my husband replaced the CD player with another one. Well, that was a mistake. Every time you went over a bump, it starts the music all over again. Anyway, this car has 87,000 miles on it now. The body of the car is pretty good still. No rust or anything like that. It has a moon roof (which isn't used much). We have had quite a few compliments on the car (one being a couple days ago).

I few modifactions really wake up this car, it's a great sleeper. It handles quite well fo its size I woulfd reccomend 17' or 18' wheels, they help a lot. The V8 is very strong and I can really burnout with this car.

Bought the car because I had a '87 Bird and liked it. Also liked the metallic blue paint. Have been a road warrior in it for 8 years and love everything about it. Had to put a radiator in as well as normal maintenance, but nothing really major. I really wish I could buy a new one but the model line has gone away.

I drove this car for seven years without a single problem. I wish they still built this car. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. It has 154,000 miles on it and still rides, drives excellent.
