1995 Ford Probe LX review from North America
"It's a good, attractive car that handles and performs well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car for 500 dollars 3 years ago. In the 3 years of ownership I've put a lot of money into the car, but not a lot of parts. typical maintenance stuff like Axles, Water Pump, New Clutch. And other parts like a rear sway bar link. The link was 75 dollars and you can put it in the palm of your hand. The last thing I've had to do was put an oil pump in the car.
General comments?
I love the car, other than the parts being so expensive. The car performs well, it is more than capable of showing the Honda next to you up (done it too many times to tell). It handles nice on bends and country roads at high speed even with factory suspension and performance tires. The interior is comfortable if there are only 2 people in the car, the back seat is useless. The manual transmission handles everything I throw at it and then some. Overall you can't beat the performance or reliability of the car.
