Ford Probe 2.0i 16V 3d (1994/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
This would be a 5 because you appear to get a lot of car for money, but very expensive to maintain.
Costs
High insurance (group 16), average fuel economy, high parts costs (£230 distributor - common fault).
-
On the road
Driving
On open road this car is excellent. Round town, 2.0 slow take-off speed.
Performance
Good on open road. Cruise control helps, handling ok.
-
Living with it
Reliability
More time in garage than on road.
Image
Always receives admiring glances, nice exterior styling - alloys a bit dodgy.
Comfort
Very good in front (watch lumber/bolster sections on front seats - easily worn). No space in rear.
