Faults:

At 135,000, the (original) timing belt went out. It was apparently never replaced - no big deal, Probes have a Mazda non-interference engine.

Around 139,000, one of the original CV joint's boot tore and slung grease inside the wheel. No big deal, it was supposed to be replaced at 75,000 miles.

General Comments:

I love these cars. I completely love these cars. I currently own two of them, this car, a 1994 Probe GT, and more recently, a 1995 GT.

They handle like nothing else I've ever driven. In fact, I feel - as anyone else who's driven them - as if I'm a better driver behind the wheel of a PGT.

While not the fastest, this sportscar holds its own with a factory 15.2 in the quarter mile. Plenty fast to beat most NA imports!

Anyone with reliability issued most likely owns a base/SE 4cyl model with an automatic transmission - that ATX is notorious for blowing out.

The exterior lines and styling are beautiful, way ahead of its time.

To really appreciate this car's fun factor, you have to have a stick.

One magazine said in a review, "This is the sweetest V6 sports car BMW never built."

There has been nothing seriously wrong with my Probe GT.

I have babied this car since I have had it.

The brake pads have worn out, but I have had then replaced.

The seats have a couple of stains on them, but you can hardly see them.

The back speakers are beginning to sound fuzzy so I am probably going to replace those.

General Comments:

This is by far the fastest car in my hometown.

It handles so well that I have taken sharp turn at 60-70 miles an hour.

The seats are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in, and they hold you in place when you are taking sharp turns.

Faults:

Had to replace valve cover gaskets.

New Plugs and wiring.

New paint job and clear coat, clear coat was chipping.

4 new tires.

New timing belt.

2 New tie rod ends (front)

General Comments:

Like most owners, I also feel that it handles very well.

Quick acceleration.

Looks nice.

Interior is also a nice feature and fairly well designed. Drink holder designer must have been on crack.

I owned 2 probes in my 19 year old life. My first Probe was a 95 Ford Probe GT. Ford stopped making these cars in 97, so that makes the latest models 8 years old, things happen to cars when they reach "Middle Age". I think that's kinda self explanatory ;). I've had to do radiators in both my cars, getting ready to re-gasket the engine, and the CV boots... but these are all simple projects.

General Comments:

I had 2 of these cars, and would recommend them to any one. Powerful, out classes Civics, Preludes, Eclipse. More standard options. The only thing I have to say that is good about my sister Civic, is it's a 4cyl and it has a better turning radius then my probe... but my car is much more fun, hands down. Buying a higher performance car has its draw backs. Cars like this will obviously have to have things fixed, that's just how it works... Asian cars were built for economy, and reliability... but if you want a combination of fun, and reliability, id go P.G.T.
