Still loving it

I've owned this car for nearly nine years now, and I (and everyone else who sees it) still consider it a new car. It looks great and drives just as smoothly after 32,500 miles as it did when new. No problems with car whatsoever. I replaced the battery simply because I had a Firestone rebate that had to be used. This isn't a family car for daily use, but it is a great toy that still makes an old man feel like a kid again!

Best Value Car I Have Ever Owned

Bought this car because it is my wifes favorite color (yellow). She wanted a convertible and the color was right...that was 5 years ago. The car brings smiles to her, and when she is down-in-the-dumps, we put the top down and go for a ride. Best inverstment I've ever made. Happy wife...happy life! Now for me. Yellow is not my color but I would drive this car even if it were purple, orange and pink. What a nice driving car. A very good balance of power, handling, efficiency, driver fit, and looks. I have never been in any other car that evokes such a pleasant response from the general public. "Nice car!" I am now considering a second T-Bird for my commute to work. Maybe silver...

My 2002 Thunderbird is now 15 years old; it is the best car I have ever owned. Great looks, great fun to drive, great power & handling...I love it. Only thing negative is that I used to get about 25+ mpg and now, with 50k miles, I only get about 20. Don't know what to do to improve it.

It a very nice looking car. Always feel awesome riding in this TBird. This car was my husband's toy. I could not drive it cause I'm too short and can't quite reach the pedals without using big pillows to sit on and put me forward. Of course I did not try to drive it. I consider this car to be in excellent condition. My husband had the convertible soft top repaired (by Sure-Fit $895); purchased an AM/FM 6 Disc Indash changer ($399.90) and paid for installation ($84); purchased floor mats ($73.90); TBird soft boot flaps ($247.18) Hard top wrench ($34.45) ; extra key cut and program ($87.04); TBird hard top cart with custom made cover for TBird hard top ($219.64); TBird electric winch hoist ($374.06); Cockpit trim package includes premium hardtop protection trim, and premium top door trim ($226.55). My husband took pride in this car and enjoyed it tremendously. Hope new owner will take care of this beauty.

My T-BIRD makes my sudden early retirement a happy time.It does every thing that I command it to do.The first thing you should do,is go buy a radar detector and your favorite CD,and take the long way home.There is nothing out there that can pry the smile off your face.Enjoy!!!!!!!
