"A nice car but costly to drive and maintain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

One of the fog lights fell out the first week. I'm told you must replace entire front setup in order to have another one.

The brakes and rotors have been replaced several times.

The pieces of the body work don't fit together well at all. There are large gaps between the bumper and the fender on both sides.

The paint job isn't the greatest in the world. The mirrors and upper areas of paint are now a different color than previously.

The seats are discolored and I'm not sure what caused it.

The distributer and one crank sensor went out at 85000. That cost almost $700 and almost 3 weeks to fix.

Sometimes the car is slow to start and no one can seem to figure out why.

General comments?

Overall, the Probe GT is a nice looking car. It has a nice body shape and the low profile tires and alloy wheels add class.

It has a lot of power, especially compared to my previously owned Escort.

The ride is, as with every Probe I've ridden in, very rough and every little bump is felt.

It seems like anything, part or accessory, for the Probe costs a fortune.

One of the worst things about the Probe is that the back seat is so small it might as well be nonexistant.

And, I forgot, the rear calipers stick during cold weather. Last winter I thought the rear end was on fire.
