A great car that handles well and sounds fantastic!

Reliability
Earlier models had a few minor problems, later models seem more reliable.
Image
It turns heads! Even now the styling is still futuristic, and it really stands out. Looks a bit like a Ferrari too!
Comfort
Totally fab in the front, very comfy seats, good driving position. Not much leg room in the back, but the boot is ENORMOUS!

Security and Service
Security
Factory fitted alarm and immobiliser.
Service
Ford are not brill when it comes to the Probe. Try Mazda instead, as the Probe is the same as the MX-6 under the bodywork.
