Faults:

Lots of little annoying things like interior trim breaking, squeaks and rattles, broken speakers, warped seats, etc.

Other major things such as failed engine management computers, chronic stalling no matter who tries to fix it, steering wheel always twitches at highway speeds and no one seems to be able to fix that either, and there are several buzzes that come from the engine which cause me to think that something serious is going to happen in the near future.

General Comments:

The car is pretty good for the first 50,000 miles or so, after that, get rid of it. The number of problems I've had has been significant and very irritating as well.

The handling is crisp, and the visibility is good. I just don't feel that I'm driving a solid car at all.

The seats are very uncomfortable, especially for trips over an hour, and the fuel economy isn't that great despite it being a four cylinder.

The materials inside look and feel cheap. The power windows make a crunching sound when they close too.

Faults:

It was time to change the headlight and foglight bulbs. They all went within one month of one another. Other than that, nothing. My mechanic misses me.

General Comments:

With the rising fuel costs and bad weather in the winter, this car is a better choice for most than the V-8 rear wheel drive sports cars like Mustangs and Camaros. From experience I can say that a good set of true snow tires can make this car fantastic in the snow. I have driven many cars through bad snow storms and this one came out on top. Summer tires don't work well in the winter. This car is quite quick as a standard with the V-6, and loves to rev. It is the sweetest transmission I have driven and the handling will amaze most people. And I have no end to the compliments I get on this car.

Faults:

I had to replace the brake pads all around and the belts.

The former owner replaced the muffler, and the catalytic converter. I anticipate replacing the oxygen sensor, and repainting it.

General Comments:

I just brought the car a few weeks ago, at a great price, with 113,000 miles on it. With only a few common repairs it runs like a new car. I know, I used to sell Ford Probes at a dealership.

The interior is like new also. The former owner took very good care of the car. It's also black, the best color.

It handles great and runs very fast. With great pickup. Looks awesome, and I get plenty of attention. Also it's fully loaded, including anti-lock brakes. I love it.

When I used to sell them I wanted one bad, but couldn't afford it. Now years later I have one and I am not disappointed at all. I drive in California!
