2003 Ford Thunderbird
For style and classic resonance, few car names have
more prestige than the Thunderbird. The 2003 Ford Thunderbird
Convertible is no exception. Naturally, the list of
features has to start with the powerful engine. Many
horses are caught under the bonnet of this beast: 280
of them to be precise. The result is lots of acceleration
and great ratings for handling too.
Combine this power with great luxury and safety features
and you have an appropriately classy ride for this rear-wheel
drive near-luxury car.
Under the Hood
The Thunderbird has a 3.9-liter V8, where the 280 hp
is found at 6000 rpm. At 4000 rpm 286 lb-ft of torque
are produced and this translates to fast as lightning.
All this power is controlled by a 5-speed automatic
transmission that gets a respectable 17 and 23 mpg (city
and hwy).
Traction control enhances the road-holding and handling
ability and safety is bolstered by 4-wheel antilock
disc brakes.
The Thunderbird is equipped with dual front and front
side airbags, 235/50VR17 tires and a theft deterrent
system.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Interior features on the Deluxe edition of the Thunderbird
are as one would expect from this level of automobile.
In fact, so many things are included at the Deluxe level
that the Premium model only adds heated seats and chrome
alloy rims.
So, on the Deluxe expect to find dual zone automatic
climate control with air conditioning, cruise control,
automatic headlights, an AM/FM/CD player with in-dash
6-disc changer, power adjustable seats with lumbar control,
a power convertible top and leather upholstery.
Also included are power mirrors, door locks, windows
and both remote keyless entry and trunk-lid release.
Optional add-ons include a removable hard-top, a manual-shift
capability and various accent and color accent packages.
These are stylistic features like an exterior color
steering wheel, seat insert, shifter and hardtop or
simple black fittings for interior items.
