1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributer was the first thing to go at 122,000 miles.
Replaced all brake rotors.
At 145,000 miles engine starting burning oil.
At 153,000 miles I replaced the motor with a used one that had 75,000 miles on it.
At 163,000 miles I lost third gear.
At 166,000 miles a piston rod snapped, spun, and seized the motor.
General comments?
I have loved the car since the day I got it.
The motor was strong all the way up until the day it blew.
I have a rebuilt motor and transmission going into it very very soon.
I have always thought the car is quick and it really handles great.
The interior is mint and the exterior needs a little work.
I can't wait to get it back!
Ford got rid of it because it was creeping up on the mustangs spotlight.
