(7 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.
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!
I used this as a race car at the 24 hours of Lemons race, which is an endurance event for cars costing 500 dollars or less, and it performed admirably. It was fast in a straight line, and not handle very well, but all components worked save for one busted and easily fixed hose during the first day of the race. By far the biggest problem was the lack of skill of one of our drivers, who managed to crash twice, and punched holes in the radiator as well as got us penalties. Luckily JB weld works well on radiators. This was a great car, and stayed in the race till the last half hour, when a hit from a BMW took out our tire and their control arm.
Overall I love the car. Performance is great. The only problem i have with build quality is the air duct that connects to the throttle body is broken from drying out, it is a hard part to find and expensive to replace. The car looks good, better than the lx's and other models, they lack the ground effects kit, and accessories that go with it.
2.2 litre turbocharged FWD fairly fast for a 4 cylinder car
