Used 2003 Ford Thunderbird Review
Edmunds expert review
Fun to drive and fun to be seen driving, the Thunderbird successfully straddles a fine line between luxury and performance.
What's new for 2003
Now in its second year, the Thunderbird gains 28 more horsepower and 25 more pound-feet of torque, bringing the totals to 280 and 286, respectively. The bump in power is due to new electronic throttle control and variable cam timing. All-speed traction control comes standard, and heated seats are now available as options. The instrument cluster has been revised, and new exterior and colors brighten up the palette. Finally, a new saddle interior package makes its debut with full saddle-style leather for the seats, steering wheel and shift knob.
