Review
I put 264,000 miles on car, It still ran great and got 25 mpg before the salt took its toll on the body. I spent less than a $800 in 19 years on mechanical repairs. under the hood the only problem was the radiator, it cracked at 70,000 miles. If you have a hard time with finding some parts, cross ref. it with mazda mx6. It was very reliable and easy to repair (the few time it was needed. (you must keep front tires balanced, saves on front wheel bearings)

Well, I have a Probe L. I'm telling you this car it's my little gem. But overall, this car its super. I'm telling you. I love this car. It's fun to drive. I'm going to keep it 'til I die. Anyways you don't see LX anymore on the streets. And I like the way that I'm unique.

I am the original owner and absolutely I love this car. I have the Ford V6 engine & trans with 191,000 on it & the car is still going strong. I have never had any trouble with the engine & trans and this car has never stranded me. It's fun to drive and handles well.The car has it's original black paint and still shines like a new car. Well done Ford. I hope to keep it forever.

242,000 mi. and this 3.0L 6 cyl. engine
still has some punch left. I just
bought a used '97 Probe GTS to replace
my '90 because this truely is the best
car Ford ever built. Why would any car
company discontiue such a gem? I guess
people would rather pay more money for
Hondas or Toyotas (4 cyl... Puhlease!)
that don't even come close to the speed
or handling of the 2nd gen Probe V6.

After reading others' experiences I
went ahead and bought my 90 with 147K
on it, and have added another 9K.
Replaced plugs, wires, dist cap/rotor,
front brakes (cheap!). Timing belt
blew, but I should have changed it; no
valve damage. Amazingly reliable and
inexpensive; previous owner and I both
use Mobil 1 oil. Best car buy I'ceever
made.

I bought this car in 1992 from a
dealership, figuring I'd drive it a
year or two and then update.... but I
loved it from Day One... now I'm at
160,000 and still going strong!! I
love this car, and hope it makes it
another 40,000! I've only ever done
routine fixes.... new starter, new
brakes, etc.

In being my first car I don't have much
to compare it too since I still have
it, but he sure is a fast little guy. I
love flying around in downtown Lansing,
taking corners fast enough to glue my
friends to the windows.

My 1990 Probe finally died after
221,000 miles plus!!!!
She was the best car I ever owned....
I wish Ford would have kept her and
junked the Focus
