1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"More than the sum of its parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt needs help, most problems occur with the things that Ford is in charge of.
The engine is great. At 108,000 miles the performance hasn't even blinked but the little things are all getting worn.
The transmission hasn't gone yet, but I can feel the glitches.
Cup holder was designed by a chimp.
General comments?
I love this car and will keep it for a long time because of its ability to dust Eclipses, Talons, V6 Mustangs, Lasers, small Porsches, and a variety of other mid-range sportsters. No one expects the Probe to show up behind them and no one expects to get dusted at 110mph by a Ford.
If the dual cams don't getcha, the handling does. I can't drive fast enough to lose control with this thing on the highway. 16 year old mommy's boys everywhere beware...
