1993 Ford Probe Basic review from North America
"Every girl should start with a Ford Probe!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only complaint I could have about the car is that it was really hard on exhaust systems. I had to have it completely replaced after I bought it, and then two new mufflers after that. As long as you have someone who can fix the muffler every so often the repair for me usually turned out less then $100.
General comments?
The car never stalled, always started and was great on gas.
The car was holding up really well. There are few cars that still start when they are nearing 200,000. I currently am driving a dodge that has a fraction of those miles on it, and it is a pain to get going every morning.
The car may not be the best looking vehicle around, but they are great first cars. I really loved mine. I had to part with it to get a car with less miles, and I really regret not opting for another probe.
