1994 Ford Probe GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Curse my gambling-crazed ex-wife for forcing me to sell it to pay her debts to loan shark"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition leads required replacement at 20,000km Mfr acknowledged problem under warranty.
Developed rattly valve lifters at about 50,000 km because I used AA rather than AAA highest grade lube oil. Didn't know of specific requirement.
General comments?
Marvellous: loved it. Best csr I ever owned in 45 years. Cornered like it was on rails.
Unbelievably comfortable - after a 2-day 1600 km journey had no aches or back pain.
Loved all the gadgets: cruise control, power seat; full instrumentation instead of dumb lights;
ABS brakes avoided an otherwise certain rear-ender into a sudden stop by a Mercedes-Benz on a wet downhill road.
