Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 34 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.9L 8-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 39 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.1 L/100 km combined rating. In money, 1,000 km costs about $229.30 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. In plain terms, its 227 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who rents the Thunderbird
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
If the Thunderbird is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Thunderbird on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
