Faults:

The transmission started slipping right before the 36k warranty expired. It was fixed in one week, and needed to be reworked a few months later.

The battery seemed to fail much before the supposed lifetime.

Mysterious oil leak and/or consumption started at about 100,000

Front seats badly worn.

When rather new, but out of warranty, coolant leaked into the passenger compartment.400 repair, which a neighbor fixed for 20 bucks by plugging the heater up!

Mind you, I owned the car for 8 years an 147,000 miles! And these were hard, fast, rubber-burning, wheel spinning miles!

General Comments:

From the moment I saw the 1994 Ford with its driver oriented dash, taupe exterior/interior in leather I knew I had to have it.

All the years I had it, people could not believe it was a Ford. Somehow, it exuded elegance. I was asked all kinds of questions at gas stations, parking lots, etc. A mechanic deemed it more classy and comfortable than other more luxurious cars.

Power everything, leather, all for 16k in 1994.

The engine, to this day is seamless and quiet.

The transmission seemed sluggish and rough, especially as the car aged.

Quiet car, nice ride, tight handling, but a bit firm over the bumps.

The a/c proved more than adequate for the South Florida summers.

This car is built like a tank. It was hit twice and not even a scratch.

Fast, but not as quick as I was expecting. 0 to 60 in about 8 seconds.

While it embarrassed lots of other cars, I was put to shame by a few very unassuming cars, one being a Ford, the other a Buick!,

Speed limited at about 105. It saw 105 or thereabouts regularly!

Unfortunately, the car did not hold up as well as I would have liked.

It's still running. My dad has it, but I still consider this "my" car.

Faults:

The fuel tank and fuel injector needed to be replaced.

The ball joints are horrible and need replaced.

The interior lights don't work and they never have since I've owned the car.

Headlights are foggy and leak water badly. I have replaced the passenger light bulb 4 times in the past year.

The air bag light blinks nonstop, and the check engine light has been coming on and off for the past year. Is there anything wrong... who knows.

General Comments:

This car is very nice, its like driving a couch on wheels. It doesn't have great acceleration power off the line, but once you get going it really does fly. The car contours to the driver, so if you ever sit in the passenger seat you have to lean over to adjust anything. The cupholders are in the arm rest which is the worst place in the whole world. Other than that the car runs pretty well, the valves tap, but the car is 11 years old. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. And ps if you drive in a snowy area, some 60 pound sand bags in the trunk will do you very well.

Faults:

The only complaint I have is with the wiring harness, as there have been a couple of "hot spots" that could have become fires. The excess 400 feet of wiring from when it was an unmarked police car is likely the problem there. Being 10 years old now, she's also developed a lot of squeaks and rattles and bangs, which is a little bit embarrassing now.

General Comments:

Overall, this is one wonderful car.

I wish Ford still made the family size, 5 passenger coupe instead of their new useless 2-seater.

Over 210,000 Km and still running well with very few, low-cost repairs.

I love my T-Bird baby!
