Faults:

When I first got it, the car was just beautiful except for the exhaust looking like half inch stub. I fixed that easily by replacing it with a Magnaflow 4 in ricer. I wasn't satisfied with the performance of the engine, so I replaced spark plugs with high resistance, water pump, air conditioning pump, throttle body, K&N air filter, Eagle LS 225/50/16 sitting on Loco 16's. It does get a little expensive though when the car is crying out to you saying, "Give me more, body kits are killer." So what was I gonna say to that? I know, "oh yeah." So after an LED wing, a few lights, some Kicker Comp VR's, a "killer" body kit, and a few coats of paint with some flames I was all set. I like the overall look of even the base models. The car is a deal with insurance and it's a looker.

General Comments:

Being an automatic takes away the power that usually have with the gearing, but being a 4 cylinder it handles and picks up the power around 4k rpm. Drives very well on the corners and it wouldn't be too bad if it have a turbo for the drag strip. Comfort is surprising for the size of the car, but for two people it's perfect. Like the other reviews say, "you might as well throw the back seat away."

Faults:

Water pump $600 as they have to drop the engine to reach it.

Alternator $300 ditto.

Harmonic balancer $1000

Locks freeze up in the winter, can't open the doors in the morning (key or remote no difference)

Driver seat wears out on the left hand side from drivers back brushing it every time he/she gets in or out.

General Comments:

This car truly makes everyone a better driver. Phenomenal handling on stock tire/rims, but after a set of 235/45/17 I no longer needed to slow down on ramps even in the rain. Very good stopping power, acceleration is very good, but another 50 bhp would be nice. Back seats are a joke and perform best when folded to increase the storage area. Sound system is not adequate and I had it replaced. Best looking small car out there. Had Ford put a 5L V8 in there they would never sell another Mustang.

Faults:

The things that have gone wrong with the car are:

1. Had to replace the distributor

2. New Harmonic Balancer

3. Replaced Altenator

4. Constant Brake Trouble

5. Belts (I went through 3 or 4 in 3 months. No one could figure this out, problem just quit on its own 1 belt after fixing the harmonic balancer)

6. Paint lost its clear coat extremely quick, considering its kept in my garage.

7. The best one of all, I snapped my front axle backing out of a parking place going not even 2 MPH.

8. Suspension for a lack of better words, sucks. It is worthless.

I'm sure that there are more, but I can't think of any right now, email me if you want a more detailed list (llcue182@hotmail.com). The parts are extremely expensive and hard to find used parts. I made a HUGE mistake ever getting a Probe GT.

General Comments:

This car has done nothing, but charged outrageous insurance rates, repair bills, and hassles.

I'm scared driving back and forth to school because I never know if I will make it home.

Keep in mind, ALL this stuff has happened and the car only has 80,000 miles on it.
