Faults:

Spark plug wires - I just replaced the whole set.

Rear hatch struts - when they are cold they don't hold the rear hatch up.

Door panel - my door panel came loose once.

General Comments:

This car is a head turner. For the price you will never find a car that will turn the ladies heads and perform as well as a Ford Probe. I love this car, it was a car before its time.

Faults:

CV joints are bunk.

Rear calipers replaced.

Valve cover gasket replaced.

Check engine light stays on.

O2 sensors shot.

Expensive car to maintain.

General Comments:

These are very nice looking cars, but they cost a bundle to maintain.

Faults:

This car has some issues. First the CV joints ($500) went out.

The valve cover gasket (with a major tune up $450).

The distributor ($400).

The O2 sensors ($180).

The rear calipers, the master cylinder and the brake power booster (all brake things combined $700).

Now the transmision is a little off.

Important note on extending this car's life, let the car warm up before you drive it!!!

General Comments:

This car eats little Eclipses and Hondas up with out even going to the red line. But beware of repair bills for this car and try and do it yourself!

And girls love this car too, almost as much as the auto repair people.

Faults:

Within the first week I had the car, the entire mechanical front end of the car had to be replaced(clutch, axles, bearings, etc.). The front end of the car never stays lined up.

Six months after I had the car the water pump and alternator belt had to be replaced.

And now, 9 months after buying, the entire computer system in the car has to be replaced.

General Comments:

The problems with my car may have been because of the dealer I bought it from. But a few other people I know have had nothing but problems from their Probe. In the future any car I buy will be a Honda.

Faults:

Distributor - $350 ouch.

Timing belt is the hardest one I've done so far.

Valve cover gaskets.

General Comments:

Great car, way better than my ex-Mustang.

Super looks, very fast Honda's nightmare, gas sucker but it's worth it. Love its diet - Integras for breakfast, Eclipse GTs for lunch, Mustang GTs for dinner, and of course Honda Civics as all day snacks.

Faults:

The clutch went out and I replaced it, but it was the original clutch that lasted 129,000 miles!!

The valve covers drip a tiny bit of oil with a little wetness around the oilpan.

Transmission has a few bugs, but still drives and that's with me driving like a bat out of hell.

General Comments:

This is the best car I have ever driven. No other car provides a better mix of performance, comfort, looks, and utility. It's fast as hell for its class, and has the most room for cargo and what not.

I have over 150,000 miles and can still stay right beside my friend with a '97GT (his has 37,000 miles). When we race I am right there beside him!!
