1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"Fast, Fun, reliable... eat it Honda and Mitsu"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I owned 2 probes in my 19 year old life. My first Probe was a 95 Ford Probe GT. Ford stopped making these cars in 97, so that makes the latest models 8 years old, things happen to cars when they reach "Middle Age". I think that's kinda self explanatory ;). I've had to do radiators in both my cars, getting ready to re-gasket the engine, and the CV boots... but these are all simple projects.
General comments?
I had 2 of these cars, and would recommend them to any one. Powerful, out classes Civics, Preludes, Eclipse. More standard options. The only thing I have to say that is good about my sister Civic, is it's a 4cyl and it has a better turning radius then my probe... but my car is much more fun, hands down. Buying a higher performance car has its draw backs. Cars like this will obviously have to have things fixed, that's just how it works... Asian cars were built for economy, and reliability... but if you want a combination of fun, and reliability, id go P.G.T.
