It isn't called "Pretty Car" without reason!

Unless you must go to your dealer because of warranty, this is take care of your car the place you need to have your wonderful car! Like the Ford Thunderbird s built between 2001 and 2006! I love my TB-2002! And care for it like a pet

My special car

Purchased this car because I could not afford the Tbrd in the 50's. I would have much rather had a 55, 56 or 57 because they are simpler to operate. This 02 is enough on the electronic scale for mr to fit things myself.

It is really a great car!

The car is my favorite, it is beautiful, handles like a race car, and gets people staring and pointing all the time. It isn't a haul kids and stuff around car or SUV.! But, if you are into two seat'ier sports cars it is one of the best. Sorry they had to stop making them.

Love my T-Bird

Been very happy with my T-Bird. Always fun to drive out to the coast. Rides well, convertible top is easy to raise and lower, and great stereo...with only way left to listen to my CDs! ; ) Cars are a good value for the money. Only downside is trying to find exterior parts.

I love my 2002 Thunderbird.

I love my 2002 Thunderbird. I get lots of compliments and it's a conversation starter. It's 18 years old and only have had only a few major problems with it. I had to replace the convertible top and air conditioning. If you don't get the hardtop on exactly right, you are going to have a leak. Even then I have a small drip when it rains hard. I've had to re[place the struts and coils, but she is getting old. She is starting to show her age. She is my only vehicle so I take good care of her. I am keeping Sally as long as it doesn't go over $2,000 for repairs in one year. I have only come close once.

Great ride.

When my husband passed away I had the choice of a pickup truck or a Thunderbird. A no brainer. This car is a little high maintenance, but I love it. I have a choice Hardtop or convertible. I get a lot of comments on it every where I go. It's a fun ride. Only complaint, not a roomy trunk. When I go to Sam's it's a decision whether the toilet paper or paper towels have to ride in front with me.

Ownership

I Purchased my 2002 Ford Thunderbird in 2008 with 67,000 miles on it. Today there’s 207,000 miles on it. Routine maintenance on a car with this amount of mileage. I have really enjoyed the styling the power and the novelty of having one as a daily driver. I removed the hardtop the first week of ownership and have not had it on sense. There are a few technicians out here that have a vast knowledge of these cars start to hunt for one as well as a alternate parts source. Parts are getting hard to fine. I would buy another one.

Quite a car.

I bought my 2002 T - Bird shortly after Ford released them p. Love it! It's the best and last car I'll own. Unlike some who bought it, I drive it everyday. 160,000 miles. Hope for another 160,000 !

Sporty and Attractive

This 2002 Ford Thunderbird is the second 2002 Thunderbird I’ve owned and the fourth Thunderbird of any year I’ve owned. I love the looks of the car from its removable hardtop with a porthole to it being reminiscent of the 1950s Thunderbirds when first introduced. The seats are uncomfortable not having lumbar support. The interior has too much plastic as opposed to the earlier Thunderbirds which were more luxurious. I like the handling and the fact that it is a two seater with a power convertible top and a nice V8 motor. I hate Ford for not supporting this car with new parts and for canceling this car without really trying to attract more customers with a nicer interior. This car will be considered a classic in another decade or so.

02 Ford Thunderbird

Like it a lot, of course the owner before me babied it like I do. But you need to pay attention to everything the car systems tell you. That’s why I take it to Haines they treat it like I want it to be treated

Retro T- Bird

After owning two 1950"s vintage Thunderbirds some years back this 2002 version is indeed a pleasure to own and drive. It rides well due to the longer wheelbase, has air bags for safety, handles very well, gets decent gas mileage, and turns a lot of heads. Also it has been a very dependable driver now at 103,000 miles. I only wonder if it is destined to appreciate as have the older versions.

My wife's baby.

Although gas mileage is higher than the newer cars, it is not unreasonable. My wife loves it. Because it's no longer manufactured repairs may be a little more expensive and warranty not available, do preventative maintenance important

A classic

16 years old, 44,000 miles, and its styling is timeless. I have owned this car since I bought it new in 2002. It runs perfectly and is virtually maintenance free. The black finish, removeable, and canvas tops are like new.

Love it

Now that I got my car fixed by a mechanic that knew what he was doing. This car runs wonderfully. I get many people that say they love it. Or simply want to know more about it. It is sure fun to drive.

Beautiful car

I bought this car brand new and love it. It still draws attention when driving down the street due to its sleek style and turquoise blue color. Many have wanted to buy it but I will keep it as long as I can still drive. Being able to convert from the hard top to a convertible is a special feature -- so I have two cars in one!.

Ford's fun car.

The "New Thunderbirds" are such a joy to own. I look forward to getting behind the wheel each time I have driven. the 2002 style is built off the 1955 classic style of the "Old Thunderbird". Ford succeeded in delivering a real automotive work of art.
