1995 Ford Probe Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1995 Ford Probe find it to be a fun and enjoyable car to drive, particularly noting its quick acceleration and excellent handling. Many drivers appreciate the peppy V6 engine and sporty performance, making it a thrill on the road. However, repair costs and occasional reliability issues are common concerns, with some owners noting that a well-maintained Probe can last a long time. The interior quality tends to be viewed as lower compared to its performance."
Performance- With it's fine 24-valve Mazda K-series V6 and lightweight Mazda GE body, the Probe has okay acceleration. Where it really shines, though, is in handling. I cannot even describe how well the thing handles. Build quality- You will hear about a lot of people having problems with the car. If the car was well cared for, and if you have the 5-speed manual transmission, then it will easily give you 250,000 miles of loyal service. Appearance- I think it's gorgeous. I love every smooth, flowing curve on the whole car. However, it is certainly a "like it or hate it" sort of design. Cost of ownership- A well-kept Probe GT can get upwards of 30 miles to the gallon. Enjoy. However, replacement parts are not cheap. Order them through Mazda, or look in junkyards, if you're comfortable with that. Fun factor- Never mind if the car's fun to drive. It's fun just to sit in. Taking corners at ridiculous speeds is exhilarating. Go buy one now.
July 14, 2008This is my third Probe. My first being an 89 GT Turbo, then a 95 SE, and now a 95 GT. They handle extremely well, braking has never been a problem and acceleration could be better but is definitely not too shabby. The build of these cars is pretty solid. I have heard that they usually have distributor problems but I have never had a problem with them. Repairs made are those that have been due more to age than any defect of the build. They are well balanced and are fairly sought after for tuners and mods. The appearance is sleek and definitely well thought out. This car is 15 years old and can still garner attention. This car is definitely fun to drive, I love taking it out on a mild day and letting the windows down and opening the sunroof and cranking the CD player all the way up and just going for a drive.
October 17, 2010the style is different from many cars, it has cheap made interior, but the performance of the car makes up for it, gas mileage is average, it is very fun to drive, bolt-ons are a must have for the best performance.

April 17, 2011A good car in terms of power to weight and drivability. the motor was a 2.5 inline 4 with dohc. The avrage gas economy was great and its cost in matenence was not bad. It was a blast to drive and definatly drew attention. Mine was black with grey interior. The bucket seats were comfortable and the stock radio put out good sound. The only issue i had was the weak transmission that most are known for, a few months after purchase it needed a new transmission and would have cost me more than the car was actualy worth to fix. i have to say i miss this car.
December 7, 200924 valve 2.5L DOHC V6, need I say more. This car is light, quick and a blast to drive. It drives like is on rails, sticks to the road and hugs the corners tight.
February 8, 2008Performace is lacking with the 2.0l motor. altho this car is fun to drive.. but putting that aside it gets great mileage for what it is..33mpg is what im able to get with mine. and so far i have not had to fix anything (unlike the dodges ive had)
January 20, 2012Typical performance from a jap engined car needs tobe at high RPM to get the most out of it. Build quality seems good, but due to its age it will go wrong and when it does can be expensive. Generally cheap to to run, especially if ur more economical with the accelerator pedal than I am. Great fun to drive either around town or through country lanes, holds well due to its wide tyres, sports suspension and low centre of gravity.
April 4, 2009It's a Ford. Cheap build quality inside and out. The engine is from Mazda, so it'll probably outlast the rest of the vehicle. I only paid $1000 for it, which was probably too much. I hope this thing lasts until my other car is paid off. It's a Ford. I am not a fan of Ford quality- or lack thereof.
September 20, 2008Great Car, Love driving it, pretty quick for a V6
May 18, 2008The car is fun to drive, with a peppy 24 valve V6, and a 5-speed transmission it is a blast. This car is gotta be the best perfomance for how much it costs. Fairly reliable, spend some time to find one that has been taken care of and you should have little problems.
