  Nice car for its time good first car - 1993 Ford Probe
  By Bonka - April 11 - 5:17 pm

  Bought as a winter car with ~132,500 miles. Black on black, loaded and auto. Cousin of the Mazda MX-6, prefer styling on Probe, notably the GT version. Wide 16x7 5-spoke wheels and body accents (spoiler, side skirts, door caps, front bumper) make this a nice looking car. Reasonable power from V6 but weak in the low end. Nice interior layout. Great handling characteristics (weakened by the cheap tires). Stiff suspension. Steering response a little light. Common problems oil leaks which I have (vc gaskets, oil pressure sensor). Automatic is terrible. Hunts for shifts. Requires cooler for longevity. Back seat for looks only. Deep trunk but high lift gate.

  Owned for 11 years - 1993 Ford Probe
  By Verbal - February 25 - 12:00 am

  I bought the car with 12,000 miles on the odometer, and have been driving it for the last 11 years. The handling is tremendous every freeway on ramp is a blast. The V6 winds out nicely, and the car still looks contemporary today. The seats are very comfortable. At 147,000 miles, it still has the original clutch, and the engine feels tight. Problem areas: the distributor quit at 50k miles the rear brake calipers have been replaced a couple of times due to locking the paint is fading despite regular wax jobs the hatch has rattled since day 1 the valve cover gaskets leak and the wind whistles around the passenger door seal.

  Probe SE - 1993 Ford Probe
  By SilverBullit - August 22 - 6:15 pm

  Very fun to drive. 30-40 more HP would be nice without having to upgrade to the V6. Very reliable, just recently spun a rod bearing @ 140,000+ miles. Otherwise no major problems. Hard to find GOOD brakes, certain brands are better. Would recommend to anyone who wants a two seater that is good on gas.

  Excellent Value - 1993 Ford Probe
  By NJRoadster - April 19 - 12:38 am

  Great Car! Very reliable, never had any major issues with the car. The thing handles like it is on rails. It is very fun to drive and turns a lot of heads with its good looks and the Flowmasters purring. Exceptional handling in the rain with z rated Aquatread tires. Ample storage for going out and about. The car is capable of getting great gas mileage when needed. I would say this is the best car I have ever owned the car is very reliable, looks good, is very fun to drive, has a lot of pep and is easy to maintain.

  Probe - 1993 Ford Probe
  By richard - December 14 - 2:12 pm

  The Probe is a awesome car to drive - very fun but very reliable. I have had hardly any problems with it nothing big for a 93. Comfortable seating. Big space in the hatch. All in all two thumbs up.

  great car - 1993 Ford Probe
  By phalpown - September 19 - 2:00 am

  i have gone through many cars and this is one of my favorites to just cruise around in. Great power for a little car. Its fun to drive and there is many tuner options that can be achieved for this car that normally isnt thought of. i put a water pump and timing belt in and i havent had to touch mine. It has ran great.

  Perfect first car - 1993 Ford Probe
  By Desert93pgt - August 11 - 2:00 am

  This was my first car, and i dont think i could have gotten a better first car. I am moving on as i want more power. For someone who wants light mods or to stay stock this is a perfect car, good power, crisp and great handling. ON a track this car holds its own against higher end cars well out of its pricerange.

  1993 4 banger - 1993 Ford Probe
  By Jmiller - July 28 - 2:00 am

  I brought my PROBE used with 60/k in 1997. Red of course, when cleaned it always looked brand new. I now have almost 170/k miles on it. Very reliable, problem areas idle control,faded paint,expensive parts and high insurance. Still has the original clutch!!! Great gas mileage and fun to drive, could use more power. Hatch is very useful. From day one I used only synthetic or semi syn. oil. The engine still sounds brand new,plenty of life left. K&N air filter and spit fire plugs....will change to BOSCH platinum 4 plugs. I used either 93 or 89 octane....she runs strong on 93.

  Wonderful car! - 1993 Ford Probe
  By Probe_luv - June 30 - 2:00 am

  Love this car! Even though the idle control has been bad for a year, I drive it everywhere and love it. 169000 miles and still going. And easy to fix, if you can find the parts. It does what I need it to do and I can fit my golf clubs in the trunk.
