1993 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"Great car (until it breaks again)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has some issues. First the CV joints ($500) went out.
The valve cover gasket (with a major tune up $450).
The distributor ($400).
The O2 sensors ($180).
The rear calipers, the master cylinder and the brake power booster (all brake things combined $700).
Now the transmision is a little off.
Important note on extending this car's life, let the car warm up before you drive it!!!
General comments?
This car eats little Eclipses and Hondas up with out even going to the red line. But beware of repair bills for this car and try and do it yourself!
And girls love this car too, almost as much as the auto repair people.
