1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"A fun to drive entry level sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exterior paint and finish are cracking. I am mostly seeing this on the panels that have a direct 'sky view' (Hood, Sunroof, Roof, and Trunk Lid). A top of line paint job for this car with a six year warranty will run you about $500-$700.
The distributor assembly was replaced to correct stumbling and poor performance.
Check engine light comes on intermittently... nothing found when retrieving codes from the computer.
The passenger side window is off track slightly.
General comments?
Extremely strong engine. No leaks. Lots of power between 4000 and 5000rpm.
Short throw shift kit makes a huge difference over OEM.
Lightweight flywheel install (9 lbs) helps tremendously in overall performance over OEM (22 lbs).
No rust on this car at all.
