1993 Ford Probe GT review from North America

Lemme see... a couple months after I got it, the rear calipers started seizing in cold weather.

Then, at about 80,000 miles, it overheated and stalled for no apparent reason.

At 90,000 miles the distributer and O2 sensors went out and it cost $634 in repairs.

About 2 weeks ago, it wouldn't start. Seems the fuel injectors are stuck open so the car floods out when the key is turned.

It recently began smoking, which the mechanic says is because of the fuel injectors pumping all that gas into the engine.

Now, its parked, waiting for a trip to the shop for a new water pump, timing belt, brakes, and fuel injector work, totally about $700 in repairs.

I don't know where the oil keeps going, there's no leak, its not burning oil, who knows?

Also, the paint seems to be fading away, but the car is almost 10 years old.

The Probe is a beautiful car, but its really lacking in integrity. The engine doesn't seem to have as much spirit as it should.

Because all the parts are made by Mazda, they're expensive and it seems like no parts store in the world carries them in stock.
