1990 Ford Thunderbird Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The Super Coupe is one of those cars that doesn't just look fast - its muscle and handling match its mean looks. The Super Coupe has 16-inch wheels, four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes at every corner. Also standard is a computerized suspension system that Ford says offers a stiffer, sports car ride or a less harsh ride, depending on the driver's preference, but I didn't feel much difference in either mode because the ride and handling were too close to perfect. Ford spent a lot of time getting the handling tuned to near perfection. During the time I drove the Super Coupe, I... |

1990 Ford Thunderbird Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The Thunderbird emblems on the wheel covers add a luxury touch. Inside, you`ll encounter a few annoyances, such as inflatable side seat bolsters that are too confining and are best left in the wide-open position. There also is a driver`s door armrest that`s a bit too bulky, robbing the car of some leg room. Head room is a bit tight in back. The rear seat backs fold down to expose entry to the trunk and allow you to carry such items as skis. However, the compact disc hardware in the trunk takes up a lot of space. On the plus side, there`s a warning system in the instrument panel to let you... |

1993 Ford Thunderbird Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The trunk is not deep. Nice touches include automatic safety belts, an arrow in the instrument panel pointing out which side the fuel-filler door is on and a panic button onthe key fob. If you approach the car in a parking lot and spot someone tampering with the vehicle or a suspicious-looking character lurking nearby, you can press the panic button to set off the horn and flashing lights. The base price is $15,797. By "single price," Ford means the LX offers at no extra charge a $738 option package consisting of automatic temperature control; rear-window defroster; dual, illuminated visor... |

1996 Ford Thunderbird Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...In the process the 'Bird will shed somesize and weight and be limber and nimble enough to provide the ride, handling and performance of the younger Pontiac Grand Prix. It also means that those who rely on a T-bird to tow will have to move up to the rear-drive Ford Crown Victoria, though it, too, is earmarked for the Taurus platform in 1999. The T-bird's attraction now is the 4.6-liter, 190-h.p., V-8, which allows you to move from the line with little hesitation and tow a small boat or camper. The 17-mile-per-gallon city/25-m.p.g. highway fuel economy rating is decent. One drawback: you feel... |

1995 Ford Thunderbird Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...good interior room with comfortable seats that hold you in place; split fold down rear seats to increase cargo room and allow you to haul the skis inside; and dual airbags. You'd think the Thunderbird Super Coupe would be hotter than it is. Some dealers say the car collects more dust than its less powerful but far less expensive Thunderbird LX running mate. To promote Thunderbird sales when its Big Three rivals were bringing out midsize front-drive models, Ford sharply reduced the price of the LX a few years ago, but not the Super Coupe. While the base engine in the LX is only a 3.8-liter... |
