2004 ford thunderbird review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. With two seats, a convertible top, and rear-wheel drive, it sometime feels like driving a vintage car, only it's brand new. ford introduced thunderbird as a 2002 model, but has revised it each year since. Electronic throttle control and variable cam timing improved performance, power, and fuel economy for 2003. Thunderbird's 3. 9-liter v8 now produces 280 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque, giving it stronger acceleration than the 2002 model. Traction control is standard on all models, and the instrument pod was redesigned. A select-shift automatic transmission was added that allows semi-manual shifting. Heated seats were added to keep driver and passenger toasty-warm, even with the top down in chilly weather. for 2004, ford has restyled the seats, and added three new wheel designs, new appearance packages, and new interior appointments. lineupthunderbird comes in deluxe and premium trim. The black accent package 295) features high-gloss black accents on the steering wheel and shifter. A partial color accent package 595) is available that places red, yellow, or blue inserts in the seats, steering wheel, and shifter to match the exterior color on selected models. Similarly, the full color accent package 800) extends the color accents to the lower instrument panel, center console and door trim panels. new for 2004 is a light sand appearance package 1000) for premium models that includes a sand-colored convertible top, seats, steering wheel, shift knob, and optional soft boot, plus cream-colored gauges. This package also features bronze metallic appliques on the instrument panel, door trim, center stack, shifter bezel, and scuff plates. A new pacific coast roadster 43,995) includes the light sand appearance package plus additional features. walkaroundthe thunderbird combines design features from early thunderbirds, including the original 1955-57 two-seater and the 1961-63 rocket bird. A v8 badge has been added to the front fenders of 2004 models to further the retro theme. Yet ford doesn't describe the 2004 thunderbird as a replica, or retro, because it has so much modern equipment in it, on it and underneath it. the exterior design is extremely smooth to the eye, although the wind tunnel says it has a drag coefficient of 0. 38, high when a mercedes-benz sedan cheats the wind with a rating of 0. 28. thunderbird's 6. 9-cubic-foot trunk is big enough to carry two golf bags, but that's about it. This car is made for what ford calls relaxed sportiness, a term we translate into cruising. It's sporty looking, it's rear-wheel drive, but it is not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination. interiortwo reasonably comfortable bucket seats are independently adjustable with power switches located on the side of the seat. But their range of adjustment is limited by the configuration of the cockpit, whose rear bulkhead is close behind the seats themselves. Long, sea foam green needles point the way instead of red, white or black indicators. The shape of the instrument binnacle reflects the gentle dome shape of the '55-56 original. The door panels feature the spread-wing thunderbird emblem. the center stack, that portion of the instrument panel at the center of the dash that carries the vents, the sound-system controls and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (hvac) controls, is taken almost directly from the lincoln ls. It's made up of five different small panels, though it appears that one nicely done cover panel for all five elements would have sufficed. The stereo is well designed, and the hvac controls use big buttons that are easy to operate. in such a small interior, everything falls readily to hand. For couples, especially, the interior is intimate and romantic. driving impressiondriving the new thunderbird an exercise in being seen. But how it goes is just as important, and it does pretty well in this category. There's plenty of power to drive the rear wheels and the traction control ensures a steady grip during acceleration. the engine is lifted directly from the lincoln ls, with only a few modifications to make it fit in the car. It's a small v8, only 3. 9 liters, less than 240 cubic inches. In fact, it's smaller than the standard v8 in 1955, but it produces more power and meets all the modern criteria for emissions and fuel economy. The 2004 thunderbird's v8 is rated 280 horsepower, more than one horsepower per cubic inch. The engineers have given it an interesting combination of air-intake rush and exhaust thunder. It burbles at idle like an old big-block v8, and that's part of the car's charm. ford's five-speed overdrive transmission is responsive. Expect 0-60mph performance in the range of 7 seconds flat, which ain't bad. If it weighed 500 pounds less, the thunderbird would be quicker; but even with its mostly plastic body panels, the new t-bird weighs almost 3800 pounds, and it feels like it. this is a comfortable cruiser on the interstate. A crossbeam behind the seats ties the structure together, and three steel x-braces are bolted to the underbody in the front, middle, and rear. The result is a body structure with the strength and stiffness that helps provide good ride quality and handling. The thunderbird isn't a sports car, however, and the suspension bobs when working out. Also, there is some cowl shake when driving over bumpy pavement. In a couple of mountain passes, where we drove way too fast for the blind corners and tricky turns, the car behaved very well in correction and recovery. Yes, there is body roll, but not much. It's well short of a real sports car, but it will cruise with anything out there. model lineupford thunderbird deluxe convertible 36,925); premium convertible 38,575); pacific coast roadster 43,995). assembled inwixom, michigan. options as testednone. model testedford thunderbird premium 37,970).

This package also features bronze metallic appliques on the instrument panel, door trim, center stack, shifter bezel, and scuff plates. A new pacific coast roadster 43,995) includes the light sand appearance package plus additional features. walkaroundthe thunderbird combines design features from early thunderbirds, including the original 1955-57 two-seater and the 1961-63 rocket bird. A v8 badge has been added to the front fenders of 2004 models to further the retro theme. Yet ford doesn't describe the 2004 thunderbird as a replica, or retro, because it has so much modern equipment in it, on it and underneath it. the exterior design is extremely smooth to the eye, although the wind tunnel says it has a drag coefficient of 0. 38, high when a mercedes-benz sedan cheats the wind with a rating of 0. 28. thunderbird's 6. 9-cubic-foot trunk is big enough to carry two golf bags, but that's about it. This car is made for what ford calls relaxed sportiness, a term we translate into cruising. It's sporty looking, it's rear-wheel drive, but it is not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination. interiortwo reasonably comfortable bucket seats are independently adjustable with power switches located on the side of the seat. But their range of adjustment is limited by the configuration of the cockpit, whose rear bulkhead is close behind the seats themselves. Long, sea foam green needles point the way instead of red, white or black indicators. The shape of the instrument binnacle reflects the gentle dome shape of the '55-56 original. The door panels feature the spread-wing thunderbird emblem. the center stack, that portion of the instrument panel at the center of the dash that carries the vents, the sound-system controls and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (hvac) controls, is taken almost directly from the lincoln ls. It's made up of five different small panels, though it appears that one nicely done cover panel for all five elements would have sufficed. The stereo is well designed, and the hvac controls use big buttons that are easy to operate. in such a small interior, everything falls readily to hand. For couples, especially, the interior is intimate and romantic. driving impressiondriving the new thunderbird an exercise in being seen. But how it goes is just as important, and it does pretty well in this category. There's plenty of power to drive the rear wheels and the traction control ensures a steady grip during acceleration. the engine is lifted directly from the lincoln ls, with only a few modifications to make it fit in the car. It's a small v8, only 3. 9 liters, less than 240 cubic inches. In fact, it's smaller than the standard v8 in 1955, but it produces more power and meets all the modern criteria for emissions and fuel economy. The 2004 thunderbird's v8 is rated 280 horsepower, more than one horsepower per cubic inch. The engineers have given it an interesting combination of air-intake rush and exhaust thunder. It burbles at idle like an old big-block v8, and that's part of the car's charm. ford's five-speed overdrive transmission is responsive. Expect 0-60mph performance in the range of 7 seconds flat, which ain't bad. If it weighed 500 pounds less, the thunderbird would be quicker; but even with its mostly plastic body panels, the new t-bird weighs almost 3800 pounds, and it feels like it. this is a comfortable cruiser on the interstate. A crossbeam behind the seats ties the structure together, and three steel x-braces are bolted to the underbody in the front, middle, and rear. The result is a body structure with the strength and stiffness that helps provide good ride quality and handling. The thunderbird isn't a sports car, however, and the suspension bobs when working out. Also, there is some cowl shake when driving over bumpy pavement. In a couple of mountain passes, where we drove way too fast for the blind corners and tricky turns, the car behaved very well in correction and recovery. Yes, there is body roll, but not much. It's well short of a real sports car, but it will cruise with anything out there. model lineupford thunderbird deluxe convertible 36,925); premium convertible 38,575); pacific coast roadster 43,995). assembled inwixom, michigan. options as testednone. model testedford thunderbird premium 37,970).
