General Comments:

Not too bad a car, fun to drive, but the interior was really cheap.

Faults:

The O2 Sensor developed an error about 1 year in to the ownership. I heard of stories about replacing it. But I elected not to. It probably was not a good idea, but at the time I didn't know any better.

Steering wheels rattled like crazy when ever I reached the speed of 70mph and above. However, this was quickly corrected by doing a Wheel alignment. I had learned from my teacher in our physics class about road's vibration at certain speeds would create a certain wavelength that creates the vibration.

General Comments:

While the car didn't have blow away speeds on straight away. It had incredible road hugging ability. I remember reading Motor Trend's review and touting it as "sticking to the road like burnt egg to frying pan".

I have never had another car that handles any where like the probe did. I think even it's cousin Mazada mx6 was inferior.

Most of the time when I raced, I was beaten on straight aways, but I have never lost during turns. Great fun car to have. The front wheel drive allows good manuverabilty in the snow too. But watch out for "fishtailing".

The car had incredible cargo room for a car it's size. As far as for passengers go. You should not carry any more than 2. 3 is OK, but 4 is too much.

Overall, it is a great car for a young person to drive. If I can do it again, I would buy another Probe GT.

Faults:

So far, in the last 3,000 miles that I've had the car, there have been numerous complications with the car.

The first thing that I noticed about the car when it was first purchased was that the struts weren't the best, however, most sports cars aren't usually going to have the incredibly smooth ride you want.

The water pump just recently went bad, and this was evident due to the anti-freeze leaking. I wasn't surprised since I hear that is a problem with most 1993 GT's.

My oil pressure is low as well, which scared me since the oil pump is usually the problem after nothing is wrong with the seals (well, that's after the sensors are checked).

Also, the timing belt is started to chirp, which means time for a new one, which isn't that costly.

The ball joints are also starting to go since it always pops on quick or very slow turns.

General Comments:

Other than those problems, I have all the respect in the world for the Probe.

It handles beautifully since it's tires are pretty wide and it's low to the ground.

It is very quick, especially for the little V6 it's hauling. I've raced two Intrepid's (3.3L, 3.5L), a 95 Celica GT, a 98 Avenger, a 89 Celica GT, a 94 Mustang and have beat them all considerably.

If you take care of it, many problems shouldn't arise.

Faults:

The owner before the guy I bought it off of put a really cheap paint job onto it and that is starting to fade. But I was going to fix it and paint it again anyways.

The leather seats are wearing a bit, but not to the point of replacement, remember the car is ten years old.

It eats gas unless I just drive a lot of miles to go where I go.

The bearings are either rusty or loose and makes a really annoying popping noise when you turn into the driveway.

The brakes are embarrissingly loud. Just need to be fixed though.

General Comments:

This car is my first "sport car" and is everything I expected it to be.

I raced my friends Mx-5 and won. Of course the Mx-5 only had a four cylinder automatic, it flies and I was pleased to see that my car could keep up to it being so old.

Interior is really holding up. Seat wear isn't that bad.

The general appearance and durability so far seems to be going strong.
