1994 Ford Probe review from UK and Ireland
"2.0 16v Probe? B E A UTIFUL"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went before I got the car.
Front driver side suspension spring broke.
General comments?
Gorgeous styling, which you can tell it was designed in the USA.
Despite being based on a Mazda MX6, Ford have made the styling quite unique.
Handles very well, although she doesn't like snow very much, as she slides all over.
The seats are extremely comfortable and supportive especially if you handle a corner quickly.
A bit too much torque steer though, if you corner hard and put more power through the front wheel drive.
I love this car, I will be sorry to see it leave, which will be soon.
I've recently developed a smoke screen at start up, which consumes my oil quickly.
Finding parts can be expensive, but I think it's worth it for the Probe.
