Faults:

My driver's side headlight stopped working, except for when my brights were on. This was very inexpensive and very easy to replace on my own. Nothing serious at all has gone wrong with it, however.

General Comments:

I've been very pleased with this car ever since I purchased it. It's been reliable, comfortable, and extremely fun!

The car seems completely solid and well made. It handles magnificently and can zip in and out of traffic with ease. My probe has some serious pep to it!

The interior is very comfortable, and ergonomically designed. All of the controls are perfectly place, and are reached very easily. The front seats are quite comfortable, but could use a little more side support for those high speed corners. The rear seats are comfortable as well, but leg room becomes an issue. Getting in and out of the vehicle isn't the easiest task in the world if you're a bigger person, but I do just fine.

My Probe is an absolute blast to drive! It has good acceleration and cornering capabilities. Staying centered in the lane can become a problem because of the steering, so just pay attention. Also, performance lags to the point where it's definitely noticeable when you have all of the other seats filled with bigger people. Storage capabilities are fantastic! Not that you'd actually need to fit a set of drag racing slicks in the hatch, but boy could you!

Faults:

The only things I've had trouble with were the CV joints, and the steering knuckles.

When I changed my wheels to the snow wheels that the previous owner gave me with the car, 4 lug nuts broke off.

General Comments:

From when I recieved the car it was really quick.

The cabin was comfortable for the front passenger and driver.

Seats were comfortable.

Reliable car, would like another.

Faults:

The passenger rear wheel bearing went out.

The passenger side door handle broke, someone pulled hard on it while it was locked.

It developed an exhaust leak near the rear.

General Comments:

I love this car, it's never had any drive-train problems. Everything that's ever broke I could easily fix myself.

Speed is more than adequate for a car this inexpensive and it always does exactly what I want it to. It can out-handle just about anything also.

The interior is designed perfectly, everything is in reach and it has advanced features such a automatic seat belts, door air conditioning, a rear-view mirror that won't fall off, a tilt wheel that tilts the gauges also, awesome air conditioning, and a cool sound system.

The outside of the car looks great also and the paint has no problems, even though it has never been in a garage.

This is the best car I can recommend for the average person. The GT's often give the Probes a bad name, but the GL's don't deserve it. It has 190,000 miles and is still going strong.

Faults:

I have had the car for just over 2 months and:

- The transmission went.

- The clutch went.

Both went at the exact same time. Other than that, nothing else has gone wrong with it. But whatever has gone wrong is going to cost me big bucks!!

General Comments:

Well, all and all this car is an A+++ car. Except for the part that you have to fix it with lots of cash. One flaw with this car is that there isn't enough space in the cab. How am I supposed to drive all my friends to parties and to the movies? =)

I would recommend this car to anyone, just be cautious that you take really good care of it and drive it like a sane man (or woman). Nothing will go wrong if the car is not pushed.

It will turn every head in your town or any town for that matter (especially the ladies ;) )

And never ever ever take it to a Ford dealer to get it repaired. Go to a small town garage or you will be sorry (and broke :( )
