1995 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"Poor man's sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went out, and burned up the engine. Awaiting an engine now.
Right headlight pop-up motor went out, sticking the light in the up position.
Speakers have blown, but that is just good music.
General comments?
Paint job seems to be fading on the hood, but otherwise, I love this car, almost as much as the 95 Eclipse GS that I had.
I have to say that the handling and initial kick this car has is great. I have taken a blind S turn, banked, going into it at 55 and exiting at 80. Most people, including the stated signs, take it at about 20. Just goes to show that a good car, and some good tires, will make a great sports car out of just about anything.
