What Owners are Saying About the 2002 Ford Thunderbird
"A fun car to drive"
"I am a small person 5' 2' female so I have no problems getting in / out of the car. I only use my car for weekends or car shows. I never purchased to use as a main car. My car is red with deluxe red/ black interior. I love the V8. People compliment my car everywhere I go. It is the most fun car that I have ever owned. The hardtop is a bit unwieldy to put on but mainly I use the soft top which works quickly and easily. I love everything about my beloved "Rory" and could never imagine selling her. Never out in rain or snow. The few cars I have ever seen are in genuinely nice condition so I suspect most owners are taking very good condition of them. I have owned several '57 birds but this 2003 is much more fun and comfortable to drive. I don't see too many of them. Can have battery issue if undriven for several days which is my only complaint. I keep on a battery tender."
"Dale Jarrett’s Tbird"
"I’ve been searching for the right one these cars and a guy said he knew where one was and had only 6800 miles on it and was owned by Dale Jarrett NASCAR Driver. It was a Beautiful automobile sitting there with Dale Jarrett’s signature on the dash above the glove box and his NASCAR driving jacket signed. I didn’t want to seem excited so I told him I’d think about it but my wife had other plans and I woke the next morning and sitting in my driveway was that white tbird with 2 tone red/black interior. I’ve got 11,000 miles on it now stored in the garage till spring time can’t wait. It drives and handles like a dream. Most comfortable of any 2 seater I’ve owned. It’s a real head turner and a crowd pleaser at car shows in which it’s taken 2 first places and second place. U owe to yourself to drive one and take it home."
"MY WHITE HARDTOP FORD T Bird 2002 Review"
