1993 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"Nice, but could use some work.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It looks like I've had all the same problems as other Probe owners. I had to have the distibuter replaced $$$, O2 sensors, the rear calipers stick (mine only in cold weather).
The car is really nice to look at but the body and the paint could really use some integrity. Very poor quality.
Also, anything, ANYTHING, you need to buy for a Probe seems like it costs a fortune. Just a headlight was ten bucks but the same headlight for any other car was four.
The cigarette lighter doesn't work either.
General comments?
The car is fast and handles good.
Also, its a very very nice looking car but its just costly to fix.
