Review
my grandma owned this car before me and she
gave it to me for my 16th birthday. i've had it for
over 2 years now and it has been a pretty good car i
guess. i did have to replace the muffler and i've
had to replace the brake pads twice. i also wish it
was a v6 because it takes a lot to speed it up
quickly like on the highway, and it jumps when it
changes speeds. also, my right front blinker has
gone out randomly various times and that is very
annoying because i know it isnt the bulb, its
something in the wiring. the sound system is also
of pretty bad quality. other than that, i havent
had many problems with it and it's pretty reliable.
it's a nice little sporty car to have

I purchased my 92 Probe with 92,000
miles on it from my grandfather in the
spring of 2002, and so far the car
has been a dream. I currently have
138,000 on it, and it still starts right
up (the fact that it has a Mazda
powerplant probably makes a
difference) no matter the weather or
conditions. The clear coat is peeling
from sitting in the sun for so long, but
who cares when the engine is all that
makes a difference. Aside from a
little exhaust work that needed done
after I first bought it and I had to
replace the clutch slave cylinder last
fall, I have no complaints about the
car.

Review
After only owning my 92 Probe for one
year, I've had to fix or replace front
brakes, tie rods, struts, strut plates,
air conditioning fan, $2 headlight
relay (after $100 of diagnostics), e-
brake cable, CV axles, not to mention a
transmission flush. Ford no longer
makes any Probe parts, the Probe was
shelved around 96, so all parts either
have to be special ordered or from a
junkyard. This was a problem because
when my trailer arm was snapped
(friends fault), I had to find my own
replacement, and the best one I could
find threw me out of alignment. AVOID
THIS CAR! UNRELIABLE! I also suggest
avoiding older models, as they are
plagued with the same problems.

Well, I got my car in good condition,
transmission died 5 months later.
Parts for these cars are MIA- you
can't find them anywhere but
junkyards pretty much, so it took 3
months to be fixed. Constant
problems.

i've have my car for 4.5 years now it
hasn't had any problems and it's 10
years old... thats true performance. I
have an APC dual 4" muffler on it and
boy does it sound nice with that thoaty
V6. The 3.0L is way more power than the
car needs which makes it very fun to
drive. You can smoke anyone who tries.
If you want a fast reliable car i
recommend a 1992 Ford Probe LX 3.0L
V6... theres a reason this engine was
only in the car for 3 years!

I have driven this car from coast to
coast in hard rain, snow and all kinds
of weather and altitude. It performs
well and serves as a sleeper under the
hatchback with the back seats down in a
pinch. The all-around windows make my
air conditioning a necessity in hot
weather driving and the heater just as
important in high altitudes and cold
weather. A wonder to drive - as I get
older I look toward fewer trips across
the US.
