1. Steering rack replaced ($900).

6. Really BAD paint.
7. Not a Japanese quality (rattles).
8. Harsh ride (I don't really mind).
9. Struts needs to be replaced.
10. Fog lights (are those really lights?)
11. Minor oil leak (it's a Ford).
12. Who hired the person who designed the cup holder?
A very nice looking car, very fun to drive especially with goodies added on. I installed Eibach Pro Kit springs and boy they are worth buying it.
Car looks good even when it is stock (both inside and outside). Looks way better with those aftermarket springs and 225/45/17 wheels and tires.
Performance is great but could be lighter... the car's just a little on the heavy side.
Paint is CRAP... saving up to get a new quality paint job... not by Ford!!
The car is six years old but is still running great except for the expensive parts... very expensive parts.
I planned to keep this car for a while. I am not really a Mustang fan but I think Probe GTs look way better than Stang GTs.
Anyway... til the day I am broke, I'll keep this car. It'll be a rare classic in future.
The PGT is a great car. Yes, when the OE goes it has to get replaced. The replacements come in the form of after market accessories that improve the car's performance.
I agree about the O2 sensor, but I usually only spend a couple hundred a year in maintenance compared to the usual higher end cars that cost thousands a year. For the price you can deal it's a good buy. If buying a used PGT definitely get a warranty to eliminate any defects. I've had three and on the first two the warranty came in handy within the first two months and then it ran perfect.
The "Ford" Probe GT is actually a Mazda. If you have any problems with the car its because of Mazda. The Probe was a slightly different and rebadged version of the Mazda MX6.
