This car is the best thing I have ever driven. it's fun, easy to work on and I haven't had any problems with it. My only problem is that I wish they had put a 6-speed in it.

The style is great. W/the seats down, you can fit a full size bed in the car. It looks sporty, so you feel proud to drive it. Only problem is the check engine light comes on after 40K miles. After having it checked out and finding nothing is wrong, we have to disconnect the battery to reset the lamp.

I have owned a 96 GT since 1999. I have throughly enjoyed this car until today, when the transmission went submission at 72,000 miles. The car has given me no problems beyond the very bad interior rattles. I have always like Ford products, but now I don't know. A friend recommended selling it at 75,000, I almost made it. Liked the car, but didn't like the bad trans that had been flushed 15,000 miles ago. On to something foreign now!!!!

I got my Probe GT 08/2007 and I've put over 40,000 miles on it only having to change the oil and put gas in it. But it does only get 17 or 18 mpg and its still running like new still to this day
