1993 Ford Probe GT 2.5 24V

Summary:

Very high

Faults:

Distributor - $350 ouch.

Timing belt is the hardest one I've done so far.

Valve cover gaskets.

General Comments:

Great car, way better than my ex-Mustang.

Super looks, very fast Honda's nightmare, gas sucker but it's worth it. Love its diet - Integras for breakfast, Eclipse GTs for lunch, Mustang GTs for dinner, and of course Honda Civics as all day snacks.

1993 Ford Probe GT 24v DOHC

Summary:

Fast, gorgeous, spacious, and did I say FAST!!!

Faults:

The clutch went out and I replaced it, but it was the original clutch that lasted 129,000 miles!!

The valve covers drip a tiny bit of oil with a little wetness around the oilpan.

Transmission has a few bugs, but still drives and that's with me driving like a bat out of hell.

General Comments:

This is the best car I have ever driven. No other car provides a better mix of performance, comfort, looks, and utility. It's fast as hell for its class, and has the most room for cargo and what not.

I have over 150,000 miles and can still stay right beside my friend with a '97GT (his has 37,000 miles). When we race I am right there beside him!!

Excuse me, did you say spacious, or did I read that wrong?? That is one of the things I hate most about my Probe GT is that there is NO ROOM AT ALL! Especially in back.

1993 Ford Probe GT 2.5 24v

Summary:

A great first sports car!

Faults:

The only problems I have had with my car was the brake callipers started to leak and the stabilizing rings went out giving a thumping sound from the front end.

General Comments:

I love this car! When I can't beat em in the long run (which doesn't happen a lot) I beat them with the handling. This car is great looking and has great power for the driving I like to do. I love the look on some Honda guy's face after I smoke him.

1993 Ford Probe GT 2.5

Summary:

It sure does take those corners like a Probe GT should

Faults:

Well I guess the little things count such as a rewired parking lamp, new locks, new half shaft (drive train) and new front brakes.

General Comments:

This car was my dream and I am obsessed with it. It is a hot looking and fast car. It has very sloppy gears because they are cable driven and it is slow through 2nd gear but after that it flies. Had it up to 130 and it was still asking for more. I ran 15.7 at the drag strip all stock! It handles better than any car that I have ever driven and it is really low.

Ford dealerships are expensive to get this car fixed at.

Well... I really like my Probe, but I can't say that I'm obsessed with it :) More like, I'm obsessed with the amount of money I had to spend to get the new distributer, along with the cost of those performance tires!

FYI - since the motor is made by mazda, if you go to a mazda dealer it is much cheaper than ford. Ford made the body. Go figure.

1993 Ford Probe GT 2.5 Liter V-6

Summary:

An awesome ride that will last a while

Faults:

The alignment seems to get off easily, and I've replaced the CV boots once already (in a year).

If you drive it hard you go through tires often, about once every 7-10 months, if you drive nice they'll last longer.

General Comments:

An awesome ride. The GT has a lot of power behind it. It uses every bit of the horsepower that it has which is a small amount for a sports car).

Very comfortable in front, not so much in the back. The trunk space is huge.

Overall a very good car. I'm very disappointed that Ford quit making them.

1993 Ford Probe GT 24v

Summary:

If you're gonna buy a Ford, get a Probe!

Faults:

I've had two transmissions put into this car, both of which went wrong because of Ford and had nothing to do with the car whatsoever. After I had taken it to another place, I have had nothing else happen to the car.

General Comments:

What can I say besides it looks great, feels great, and with a few minor accessories (Greddy exhaust, hotshot intake, hotshot headers, HKS sway bar, some new spark plug wires) it is quick as hell, and beats most opponents I've come up against. Comes VERY close to the Mustang but looks 10x better!
