1994 Ford Probe SE 2.0L

Summary:

Good buy for a winter car, too slow for summer car

Faults:

I got the car for $300. Needed an alternator, but still a great deal on the car, but what a dumb design, had to pull the half shaft to put the alternator in.

General Comments:

The car handles great around curves and so on.

The power well big change from my old car - a 13.0 sec stang, but it will do for a winter car and I know when I sell it in the spring I can easily double my money.

1994 Ford Probe SE 2.0

Summary:

Inexpensive alternative to sports car

Faults:

Had to put on new exhaust and new muffler.

Recently had to replace speed sensor.

General Comments:

Handles corners quickly.

Though the car is already sporty plain, I put a spoiler, sunroof, tinted windows, and bra on, to make it seriously sporty.

1994 Ford Probe GT V6

Summary:

It's an extremely fun car to own!

Faults:

When I first got this car it needed the cv joints replaced and the drivers side key hole had something jammed in it. Also, it had a huge hole in the seat and the paint is absolute crap. Also, it is a manual and every-time I accelerate in first gear it makes a weird clunking sound that is extremely annoying. The bucket seats also make it hard to reach the pedals unless I'm right up on the steering wheel.

General Comments:

I loved my Ford probe so much! It drove so nice and accelerated beautifully. It also had a great moon roof and nice sound system. I was extremely upset (to the crying point) when someone ran a red light and totaled my car. I loved this car so much, my parents decided to get it fixed for me even though the frame was bent. I got this car on my 16th birthday and only had it for 2 months. One of those months was spent fixing the hole in the seat. I only had this car for a little while, but I fell in love with it. It was my baby! I recommend this car to anyone that wants to drive a fun car. It was just so fun to drive if you have a manual! My new Honda Civic doesn't even compare!!

1994 Ford Probe GT 2.5L

Summary:

Very expensive to run, but a blast to drive!

Faults:

This car has cost me over $10,000 cdn in repair cost, most of which I put down to the very high service costs at the Ford dealerships.

I have had to change my brakes many times: this includes Ball Joints, Rotors, Calipers, Organic Pads! The hand brake hasn't worked right for years.

I also have had trouble with my Rack and Pinion Steering, which ofcourse came with a front end alignment. Then there was the Tie rods and the sway links on the rear.

Also had to replace the head casket because oil was leaking into the sparkes plugs, and now its happening again.

To top it all off my paint looks terrible! It is all faded and no matter what I use it will not shine up. I think Ford only used 1 coat of paint in 1994 instead of the usually two.

My interior dash light now has burnt out along with the door panel lights and the fuel cut off light is always on.

I almost forgot to mention that the AC is gone, the water pump and starter motor had to be replaced. I kid you not and I have all the bills to prove it.

Needless to say I am very unhappy with all the problems and costs associated with this CAR!

I still love to drive it even though I have to use premium gas at 10 cents more per litre.

General Comments:

I am overall very disappointed with how expensive it is to keep this car on the road.

I think Ford should give me a free car!

When it is in the road watch out!

You might have got a one in a million that just didn't come out of the factory right or, the previous owner didn't take care of it. I love mine even if I have only had it a week, so if I do have all of thoes problems you are talking about (which I hope I don't) I will submit another comment apologizing. I just bought mine a week ago, and it has 122,000 miles on it and it runs very good, very fast, and has some really sweet handling. (Dennis)
