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.
Just got one
This car is great. I had a Mustang before I got the Probe and I have to say that I'm much more happy with this car. Only problem is the transmission
Dont buy a ford probe
my 97 probe was fun and good for the first couple months until my spark plugs went out, computer malfunction and cv problems. its a fun little car but i knew it was time to give it up when it shifted so hard it threw itself into neutral. i know im only 16 and should be grateful but i bought it myself and as a mechanic i thought it was a good car.

Probe Files 97
My Ford Probe has been very dependable for the past 5 years that I've been driving it. It is the first car that I ever bought for myself. The car has a unique look to it and still looks fairly attractive considering that the last probe manufactured was 6 years ago. The transmission is not that great and has a hard time going on steep hillside roads. The acceleration is average but the handling is above average. The rear compartment is quite spacious. The car is perfect if there are no little kids in the family for the back seat is really not that spacious. Overall it is a good car.
