Ford Probe 2.5i V6 24V 3d (1995/N) Owner Review

Economy
Value
You get a heck of a lot of car for your money these days, bought mine 2 years back with less than 50k and FSH for £2500, looking to buy a second Probe now just because they're so much fun and so cheap.
Costs
A little pricey on fuel, but if you drive sensibly, you can expect 28-30MPG. That said, money is for sending, so open it up once in a while and enjoy!!!

On the road
Driving
Absolutely love driving the Probe, a great fun drive!
Performance
A little slack in first gear, but makes up for it across the rest of the gears, can go like stink if you want it to.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had a problem, the best car I ever started.
Image
I love the look of this car, drive it and you'll love it too.
Comfort
Front seats are great, very comfortable, rear seats are not designed for adults, but you can get the Kids in there no problems.

Security and Service
Security
I've had no problem, wish it had come with remote central locking/Alarm, but you get everything else, so can't complain.
Service
Wouldn't use Ford, use a local garage who charges about a third of what Ford want!!
