The Ford Probe GT is a nice sports car if you have time to tinker. You will spend money to drive this car daily as there is always something going wrong. With a little love and a big wallet this car will put a smile on your face in bends and turns as well as the flat runs on the hyways.

Aftermarket support has picked up for this little fireball and now you can get everything from a bug-shield to a full custom turbo unit. (not offered stock, but should have been)

The ride is very unforgiving, so if your looking for a cadillac feeling glide, this isn't the car for you. Pot holes feel 6 foot deep, but corners feel if you were on rails.

163 factory ponies push this car to 100MPH with little effort, but driving it hard will drain your savings account and give you something to do every weekend.

The only complaint I have is the weak transmission that seems to fail due to extreme heat caused by its weak shift points and programing. But a valve body modification and transmission cooler will solve that problem for around 300 US dollars.

This vehicle has a CD4 transmission that was installed when the car was built. I was changing the fluid in it and found a manufacture tag stating the warranty for the transmission was void January 1994. The car was built in 1995. I made some phone calls and found it is the original transmission and I might get some relief on the costs. Even if I do get help with the $5000 bill for repairing it I won't keep it. After much research into this vehicle it is a known fact that this transmission is made to fail. Pieces inside fall apart and shell it out or the electronics inside fail to work properly. This car is a auto shops dream car and an owner's money pit.

General Comments:

Good pick up for an automatic.

Suspension is comfortable for a sports car.

Dash and instrument placement is (as always with Ford) perfect.

Very nice interior.

Transmission problems galore. The original transmission lasted till 32,000 miles, Under warranty it was replaced.. again at 55,000 miles transmission problems.. extended warranty saved me that time. Now its slipping and jerking again.

Parts are very expensive. I've also had the control panel that works the rear defrost/rear wiper go out and the radio has went out as well. All I can say for this car is at least the A/C is good.

General Comments:

Handles well, performance isn't the best for a car with such a sporty appearance.

Cheap alloy rims have discolored to a dull haze.

Even though it has problems (a lot of them) it's still a great looking car even though I'm planning on trading it soon and getting something else, not a FORD though, maybe a Toyota or Honda something that's reliable.. My sister bought a 1995 Geo Metro the same time I got this car and she hasn't had one problem yet, and I paid a lot more for my car!
