 I absolutely love my T-Bird.  I put 5,000 miles on it in the first 3 months.  The ride can be a little soft at times, but it corners like a dream.  Plenty of horsepower.  I traded in my '02 Mustang GT for the T-Bird and there is no comparison.  The T-bird has a better ride, is more fun to drive, and gets 10 times more looks and comments.  Also, the waves from other T-Bird owners is nice.
