1993 Ford Probe Reviews - Page 23 of 23

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The distributor, and the check engine light comes on after I hit 80 miles per hour or higher. I also have to replace the tires every 4 months.

I love this car. There is so much stuff you can do to it. I don't think I would trade my car for anything in the world.

A few minor adjustments to the alignment (4 wheels + 2 outer T.R.E's) $70.00, and all new brakes installed & rotors re-cut $60.00 (United brake parts).

I have also replaced both valve cover gaskets (3 hrs), gaskets, Beck Arnley, originally cost $119.78, I paid $73 and some change.

This car is perfect for my needs.

It requires no cosmetic work, no tweaking in its performance and although spare parts are an essential ingredient in any vehicles make-up they do tend to be a tad pricey when it comes to the engine management system.

Two O2 sensors $170 ea.... ouch!

Probes are the worse cars. NEVER buy one. The engines are foreign and they're nothing but problems. My modular distributer went out followed by the air condtioner and the A/C electrical parts. They handle nice when driven, but for price wise, never buy one.

Both CV'S, oxygen sensor, clutch, distributer & coil, ac leaks (R-34) hatch does not seal when closed, muffler system, rear callipers leaking brake fluid (where e-brake hooks into calliper), valve covers leak oil, paint is now losing clear coat fast, spend atleast $250.00 on average each month until most wear & tear items are fixed.

When owning a car 5+ years old you will have problems. Save your money because you will need it. When something goes bad spend a little extra for higher performance parts and you will be rewarded (bring it on Honda). If you can do the work yourself with a book, do it (trust me).

1. Valve cover gaskets.

2. Oxygen sensors.

3. Airbag sensor?

Parts for this car are expensive, but take a ride in the car and you won't mind paying.

Don't ever take a Probe to a Ford Dealership to be fixed, they sabotage them.
