1994 Ford Probe GT review from UK and Ireland
"Great car, with some pitfalls. Go for the V6"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stone chipped driving lamp.
New front tyres.
Bugger all else..... fantastic!!!
General comments?
Seems to be a real hit or miss this car.
Performance and handling are superb from the GT.... Eats most things alive, if well driven.
As a member of the PGT Owners club UK, reliability is a key issue with most 'seasoned' Probe owners, and court cases against Ford (and their bad build quality) are on-going. Distributor failure, immobiliser problems, and rear brake caliper seizure are the more common faults to look out for.
'Ford-arri' looks perhaps a little too American for some Brit tastes, but simply looks great from the rear quarter. Fat tyres, low stance, and a real presence on the roads.
Shame they stopped making it....... and replaced it with the Cougar... never mind.
Buy carefully and enjoy!!!
