1993 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"A great first performance car for a young driver."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear hatch struts are worn out, common problem with the Probe's heavy hatch.
My exhaust needed replaced (not cheap).
Ignition coil went once, I had it replaced, but it was starting to go again when I got rid of it.
Needed a new distributor (again, not cheap)!
Water pump went, along with power steering belt and pump.
General comments?
'93 to '97 Probe GTs handle wonderfully, there is hardly any body roll when taking turns at high speed.
The interior is nice, as is the exterior, but mechanically the car (at least for me) was a piece of...
Just got a 300Z, wrote a review on it too, figured I'd do one for the Probe. Check it out!
