1993 Ford Probe Base review from North America
"Maybe I was luckier than most, but it was an outstanding car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I really don't have much to complain about here. I'm 40, and this is maybe the 10th car I've owned, and it was easily the best, even though it was used with 36,000 miles on it!
It was extremely reliable.
After a cross-country trip (South Florida to LA) it started running a little rough, and all I had to do was replace the distributor cap and wires (it was the wires). That's all I ever had to replace.
General comments?
Besides being reliable, I usually got 31/38 MPG (city/highway driving).
During my cross-country trip I sometimes got a little over 40 MPG (interstate driving)!
It was a great-looking car. The only reason I don't have it now is because it was repossesed : (
The ONLY thing I didn't like about it was the fact there is NOWHERE to put a drink (cola, of course). Every time I'd go to a fast food drive-through the stupid Coke would spill!
