1995 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"A serious sports car even if it is front wheel drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plug wires went bad at 50,000 miles.
Replaced the front brake pads at 109,000 miles.
Replaced the power steering pump at 120,000.
Also replaced the oil pump at 120,000. It had a manufacturing defect that caused it to fail when bolts were removed and replaced during the power steering pump replacement. Since the vehicle had high mileage the warranty was long since over and I had to buy a new pump.
General comments?
This is probably the best car I've ever owned.
Considering the fact that I was putting 30,000 miles per year on the car, it was very reliable and relatively inexpensive to own.
I autocrossed this car and I have to say that it handled better than any other front wheel drive car I've ever driven.
