1997 Thunderbird - The End of the Line

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: Vehicle is inexpensive and provides ample opportunity to have fun while driving.
Review: Background
I have owned a 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX with the 4.6L V8 engine for almost two years now. I purchased it in January 2002. During that time, I have had the opportunity to put on almost 40,000 miles on the vehicle. I have sincerely...

Last Auto for true Americans

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2000
Review: I'm an American...and I make no apologies. I've always loved American cars, especially Fords. My first car was a 1966 Mustang which I got when I was 16, nearly 10 years ago...I still own that car.

When I graduated college, and moved to a...

1997 Thunderbird- The Last of the Great White Birds

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Too bad Ford quit making these. They were an excellent value.
Review: I have enjoyed my 1997 Thunderbird greatly. I bought it used in 2000 with 44k on it and have since driven it to 182k and still going strong.

I have never been disappointed by the amenities on this vehicle. The seats are very comfortable (I...

Goodbye I'll miss you, T-Bird demise

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: These classic American Cruisers are history. If you want to drive a collectors item, have reliable and stylish transportation, grab a '97 and enjoy.
Review: I have owned a 1985 Ford T-Bird, 1992 Mercury Cougar and now a 1997 Ford T-Bird. These are all essentially the same cars, given differences for model years. These cars are virtually indestructible for American manufactured autos. The '85 went 128K...

The Bottom Line: Awesome, powerful, stylish transportation that is easy to work on and a dream to drive

Great value in a car.

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: Price is right, has all the options, very comfortable driver.
Review: I bought my 1997 Thunderbird new in August of 1997 primarily for business travel use. I got $5,000 off the list price, which was nice, and the car has been problem free ever since. The 4.6 liter V-8 runs strong and well. I have added a K&N air...

I love my T-Bird!!

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2000
Review: I bought my Pacific Green T-Bird LX in August 1997, used. I wanted this car because it is a higher caliber car than a Mustang, but in my price range. It has been better than I ever expected. Performance, handling, and acceleration are all excellent...

I bought it new!

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2007
Review: In February of '97, I went to a Ford dealer thinking about buying a pickup truck. They has a 1997 T-Bird sitting near the showroom. It was Laser Red and had chrome wheels. I bought it for $18,000.00 and it's been the best car I ever had. Now, with...
