1996 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"An excellent option to all the imports"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil was accumulating in the spark plug wells, and the valve cover gaskets had to be replaced at 70,000 miles.
The C.V. boot ripped, and the axles had to be replaced at 80,000 miles. The new axles came with a lifetime warranty.
The hatch struts need to be replaced, but I am too lazy to buy new ones. A 2x2 strip of wood does wonders.
General comments?
Overall, I love the car! In stock form the car is wonderful, but after a few mods it is absolutely amazing!
Make sure you keep the oil changed regularly and this car will last a long time.
