1993 Ford Probe review from North America
"Horrible, money sucking leach of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head of the motor went bad, and it cost me around $1200 dollars to fix, not to mention it damaged several other parts, including a speed sensor that cost me $500 dollars.
Transmission went bad about 3 months after I had purchased it. Started slipping and wouldn't shift into third. Had to get it fixed, and it cost me $700 dollars to fix. Just got it back and again the transmision went bad, and this time it won't even shift into drive anymore.
General comments?
This is a horrible car, it's a nightmare on people who have a fixed budget. Possibly be the worst decision I have ever made to purchase this car. Wouldn't even wish this car on my worst enemy.
