(18 reviews)This little screamer fell into my lap when my cousin blew the head, so I got a free car. All I knew at the time was that it was a manual w/ a turbo. so I was excited during the long rebuild process. So the first time I took this baby out I was blown away. She pulls like a V8 if you ask me. I mean, 145hp is nothing to brag about, but then you put in 190tq and it makes all the difference. The Probe's turbo kicks in at a low rpm because of it's small size. So by 3k rpm you'll be fully boosted and pulling hard at 9.5 psi. I must say for an 89' model this car has the features. a good stereo from the factory with subs, in dash trip computer, adjustable nitrogen shocks w/ 3 settings (soft/normal/sport), speed and brake sensing steering, as the suspension reacts to your every move. But sadly this car has a unique look that is not of my taste personally, but she's got some good lines, so for a free car I'm not complaining. She does on on gas as long as you don't drive like me. on the freeway you pull and east 25mpg, and 15-20mpg around town. Now lets see...how fun is this car........Well I never want to go home at night, I just want to drive the back roads all night and burn every ricer i can find. She even pulls double duty, as I've had her up on some forest service roads (gravel) and she was a wannabe rally car blast to drive. Overall this is an awesome car and I think I deserves a lot more respect than it gets from it's DSM competition.
Its great for mindless beating and has a big trunk for stereo stuff too. kinda weak in the power department but excellent in durability.
Turbo pulls great for 20 years old. Amazing speed for its year and body style can you say sleeper. Hardly needs parts. Almost 30 mpg on low grade gas. not the best looking car but it still leaves em at the light!
This is Perhaps the greatest car alive, in the world. way better than your car, it handles and accelerates great with a 2.2 L engine, and the hatch back is amazing!! Oh did i mention that its actually named a probe.
The Transmission gave a lot of power and quick takeoff, at the expense of a top speed of MAYBE 110 with a tailwind. Thank you ingenious Ford engineering, the aerodynamics of this car could have made it much more then it was. The Clutch gave out twice, breaks were weak, the flip top light elivators didn't like the snowy climate and cost too much to fix. (often i'd only be able to drive with 1 light up.) Had automatic shoulder belts, that was a plus. I had a custom 10 disk CD changer installed, with a subwoofer system, so the car at least was great for roadtrips. Handled excellently in the snow. I often referred to it as "The SnowTank".
