1994 Ford Probe SE review from North America
"Great running and handling little sports car for the cost to operate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replaced the lower control arms twice, the brakes twice, plugs, wires, cap, and rotor about 1500 miles ago. need to replace the hatch struts. But with the high miles it still quick!
General comments?
My car is a unique probe. Its painted a 94 canary yellow (previous owner) I bought it from a dealer in my home town for $200 bucks, he thought the tranny was going out, but after test driving it I realized it was the drivers side wheel bushing, so I jumped on it! It was a great investment since after replacing minor things on it I still have under 500 dollars into my whole ride. Little things I have done to since owning, tinted the windows (5%), put after market rims and tires, clarion cd player with 2 12inch eclipes to bump the trunk! All and all I will own another one in the near future (with 6 cylinder)
