1993 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"A good bargain on a performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air intake makes the shifting a little rough (if you don't do it right).
Paint oxidation is kind of bad. I think Ford does not have the best paint.
Bars for trunk-hatch are worn out.
General comments?
This car is great for someone who wants a sporty feel in a car with a low price. The acceleration is super and it handles great on turns.
A lot of my friends drive Honda, Acura and other Japanese cars, but this Probe feels more of a sports car than most. The throw on the shifter is a little long, but other than that everything else is great.
I had a friend who had a civic with racing parts and even dropped in a prelude engine. He said the acceleration on my car was better.
One note: Its not the easiest car for a beginner to learn on, but if you are comfortable with driving standard then its one of the best for its price.
