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.
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...
The probe does too have a cup-holder!
I own a 96.
My 93 GT has a cup holder, and I agree that it is in a terrible place! My elbow makes a lotta contact with my drink!
My 1994 has a cupholder in the center console.
My probe is a piece of junk. I've had it all of about four months and I'm about to put my third engine in it. Don't get me wrong I love my car and the way it handles, but they need to work on the engine design. It's a 1994 gt and those little civic's just can't keep up at all.
If you people make a big deal over where a cupholder is in a sports car get a life! You shouldn't even be drinking in the car, especially when you're racing... the probe is overall a great car and I wish they would start making them again.
Hey, I have a 96 gt probe, and I actually think it was a novel idea, considering the little space available for TWO cupholders. But enough about that. This thing is fun! Can't wait to go on ski trips and such with the huge hatchback for skis and in all honesty, I've been in the back seats and if you open your legs around the seat in front of you (with the front seat all the way back) you have plenty of room. If you have considerate shotgun passengers, you can fit your legs. I may be byast owning one, but this car is really bang for your buck.
I disagree. I owned a 94 ford probe gt and it was by far the worst car I have ever owned. When it DID run, which wasint very often, it was very quick and handled well. As far as being reliable goes the probe ranks a 3 on a 1-10 scale in my book. Everything possible broke on the car and the motor was shot by 110k. Ill never buy another american car again.
American? Hardly! Probe was based almost completely on the Mx6, bud.
I am working on a 94 GT. Does anyone have a manual they could send for replacing the waterpump?If so send the pages for this to tb1fan2005@yahoo.com.THANX.
Engines go if you beat em, you guys beat the mess out of the engine for 10 years then wonder why it goes! I have a 94, and its been great. At least ford was smart by letting mazda do most of the car, it outperforms chevys all day long!
