Ford Probe
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very cheap now, electric everything, has very high spec, but high insurance too.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Poor economy around town but to be expected really, high insurance. Don't know about servicing as I didn't own it long enough.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very nice, comfortable, smooth, not short on pulling power, but steering could be better.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Slightly underpowered, really needed a bit more than 165BHP, although it is still a fast car, smooth and brisk acceleration.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems, but ABS never worked.

    I like the look of it, turned heads when I drove it, but not to everyone's taste.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cramped in back, but very comfortable multi-adjust seats.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0
