Pros: probes are fun fast and you can really fix em up phat
Cons: people don't take care and diagnostic then blame it on the car?
The Bottom Line: I think people who actually know a thing or two about cars should take care these undercover mazdas. I love them. Everything I want in a car.
I have to review this car because it is my third probe and it's the second probe i've had and i can tell the previous owners never put either my 93' or my 95' on diagnostic and i read people ranting about probes transmissions being 'bad' 'blowing at the ... read more

Pros: Sometimes gets me from point A to point B...
Cons: Just name it.
The Bottom Line: Don't waste your time or money on this atrocious Ford lemon.
All I can say about this car is "yuck". I can't wait to get rid of it. Everything rattles, squeaks, and knocks. Paint is peeling off of the side-view mirrors and the hatcback hydraulics are shot. The passenger room is close to non-existent(my fiancee is ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: It's a fun, sporty car. Worth the buy, runs great.
Cons: The parts are expensive and there's no head room for back seat passengers.
The Bottom Line: It's a fun sporty car, handles well in good or bad road conditions. Worth the buy for the fun loving person.
This car is definitely worth the buy. It's sporty, fun and has a slick design. It hugs the curves, runs like a champ. I've owned two Probes, the first one was an 89 and it was ok, for a four cylinder, but the 95 Probe v6 is great. It's definitely not a ... read more

Pros: Very nicely contoured body, fun to drive, fabulous handling, worth washing
Cons: CD4E Auto Trans SUCKS. somewhat tempermental sensors & other gadgets
The Bottom Line: My neighbor also has a Probe with a bad automatic transmission. Tell you something?
I recommend a MANUAL.
I bought my 95 Probe about a year ago and put 13,000 miles on it. It has been a very fun car to drive, but I must get rid of it. The transmission is going bad, which is all-too-common for Ford products. I gave Ford one last chance with the Probe, partly ... read more

I bought a 1995 Probe SE from a dealership used. I vowed to never owne a Ford, but found this one to be good looking. No I vow to absolutly NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN. As soon as I got it, the lifters began to knock. The dealership I bought it from ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great sports car for the money. Too many positives to list.
Cons: Parts can be expensive; Depreciation.
The Bottom Line: I would suggest this car to anyone who enjoys driving and does not need the convenience of a 4-door.
For the price, the 1993-1997 Probe is one of the best sporty cars around, especially in 'GT' trim. With the GT you get a silky smooth AND relatively fuel efficient Mazda built 2.5 liter DOHC V6, excellent brakes, and amazing handling. Not to mention ... read more

Pros: VERY reliable, excellent gas mileage, fun to drive, great car for the price!
Cons: depreciating value, cramped back seats
The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone who is thinking about buying it! They are great little cars for the price!
I've owned my 95 Probe for almost 5 years now, and what a cheap 5 years it has been! This car has not given me a single problem! They get great gas mileage, meaning around 25 to 27 mpg, so don't worry about having to fill it up every other 3 or 4 ... read more

Pros: Beautiful, sporty, fast
Cons: More trouble than its worth
I bought a 1995 Probe in 1998, with its sweet lines and smooth ride, a black beauty with the spoiler, the kind of car all your friends get jealous over. But when it was less than a month after I bought it, that it went into the shop to stay from March ... read more

Pros: Fast, fun, reliable, looks oh so good
Cons: Stiff ride, small back seat, re-sale? what re-sale?
My wife purchased this car new in 1995. She wanted a laser red 5-speed GT, and we were able to find one at a local Ford dealer. We drove both an SE and a GT for comparison. The GT is a totally different car. Fast and sprung stiffly, it is a real ... read more

I own a 1995 Ford Probe GT24v, that I bought used, by one owner, early 2000. I was attracted to this car because of its sporty look and its fast engine. I could not turn down the offer I got on it. It is glossy purple with custom probe wheels. The ... read more

I owned a 1995 Ford Probe. It was the best car I ever owned. I hated to sell it but had to do it since my family was expanding and the car no longer suited my needs. I bought it as a leftover and it was the best decision I made when purchasing a vehicle. ... read more

Cons: Car seats don't fit in back, Well, nothing does
Although the 1995 Ford Probe SE I purchased in 1997 was below book value when I bought it I took a severe beating in the spring of 97 when Ford announced they weren't going to make the Probe anymore. Instantly the value of my car dropped almost $3000 and ... read more

Last winter, my parents got my brother and I a car to cruise around the town in. Well, maybe I shouldn't say my brother and I because it is his car, but I get to drive it every once in a while. Anyway, it happened to be a 1995 Ford Probe. In the year ... read more

I bought my 1995 Ford Probe SE because of the sporty look, the price, and the great things I'd heard about Ford cars. My one and only mistake was thinking a car seat would fit in the back...WRONG! Well, not totally wrong...it WILL fit, but not ... read more

I purchased a 1995 Ford Probe GT back in 1997 at Carmax in Raleigh, North Carolina. The sleek design and sporty look of the probe was all it took for me to test drive, then purchase this vehicle. With a price of $11,000 for a 2 year old fully loaded ... read more

Pros: great acceleration and handling
Cons: minimal rear seat room
When I went shopping around for a new car, I looked at the Probe GT for its stylish looks and its affordable price. I came away with quite possibly the best car you could by for under $20000. I test drove a 95 Probe GT with a 5-speed and fell in love. ... read more

Cons: Back seat room, Ride, Insurance, Automatic Transmissions
I've owned 2 probes a 90 GL and a 95 GT, and I don't want to own any other car no matter how much I have to spend. I'm really hard on cars, I drive aggressive and these cars have held up amazing. Plus I think probes are one of the best deals out there,

I won't touch on reliability, fuel economy, or any of those catagories because I wouldn't be able to give a fair opinion anymore. I have turned my once Automatic 1995 Ford Probe GT into a "tuner" of sorts. When I bought the car It was just a second
