About the 1997 Ford Thunderbird

Searching for Luup alternative and the 1997 Ford Thunderbird? Here is what the car is like and how to rent one from us. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar.

The figures, translated

Power comes from the 3.8L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The combined figure, 12.4 L/100 km, means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $192.20.

Room inside

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
