1994 Ford Probe GT from North America - Comments

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.

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.

The "Probe Boy"

You say you are only 19 so I guess you can be forgiven for not knowing much. Or anything.

But your Probe that you speak so highly of is actually based on a Mazda design which was sold here as the MX-6, so when you denigrate (go look it up) "Asian cars" are you excluding Mazdas? Or does the fact that your car has a blue oval emblem on it somehow change the fact that it's really a Mazda underneath?

If you think that, then Ford's marketing guys got you right where they want you, Probe Boy!

I am also 19 years old and am very educated about the Probes. I own two at the moment, a 1992 4-Cylinder automatic and a 1994 6-cylinder automatic. One being a GL and the other an LX. I have put a lot of work into their engines... both CVs replaced on the 1992 along with a new rack, struts, rotars and brakes and both need new air-intake hoses. Aside from the body work and minor engine repairs that coincide with the age of the cars and previous owners' neglect, I love both of my Probes and everyone knows they are sisters of the MX6.

I think some people just know what their car is. Some people don't like the Probes, but they are reliable, gas-efficient and basically good to drive with easy handling and they look good. In my area I would be considered the "Probe Girl" but I enjoy showing them off and have turned a lot of people in my area onto Probes. I like working on them and showing people their potential :)
