While I'm glad this car never replaced the Mustang, I still loved the Probe, especially this second generation model. It was a good car, especially for its time. And I think the styling on the Probe GT still looks smart even today. I think the Probe is an underrated car. I miss it.

Can't believe this is 25 years old. Such a pretty design.

Loving that base model. 90's color, 90's styling, 90's hubcaps. It's "90's" the car.

Love the design of these. They look like a futuristic spaceship in a 90s sort of way.

i have That white gt..ive had it for 25 yrs...still a very cool car

I miss when Ford took risks.

The 2nd gen Probe has aged really well. I'd love to get a GT with the 5 spd in good condition

the probes styling aged beautifully over the years ! it's still gorgeous

I Absolutely live for all things MotorWeek.

I had one of these brand new.. It was something too.. Reliable and fun to drive..

When I was 27yrs old I had a 92ford probe GT. If I remember right I drove the car for 3yrs I am now 53 years old when I think of the car I think of all the fun I had back then.

I owned a 96 Probe se 4 cylinder 5 - speed. Super reliable car. 140k miles when i sold it in 02. Was still running strong.

My left ear loved this!!!

My first car! I had the 4 cylinder version, loved it!

The styling and it's engine and transmission option has made me in love with this car...😍

it was so hard to catch this short little show back in the 90's on saturday afternoons, ...forward in time, you tube, available anytime. Kudos to having the old shows available

I love the looks. Looks great in white. Imagine what a 2018 probe would look like

I'm 23, these cars have never been relevant in my time, but I saw one today for the first time (in person) and it really struck me. Seems like this would have been an amazing car for its time. I would love to see Ford make some more front wheel drive coupes

I never did, and still don’t understand the hate for these cars. Good looking, nice handling sport compact.

The Probe was amazing looking and STILL is today! That car holds its good looks 20 years later. I would LOVE to see Ford bring back the Probe but I am sure they would be scared it would cut into their Mustang sales.

This generation was produced for 1993 thru 1997 model years.I was selling Ford's at the time and this was a looker.Mazda's version was called the MX-6.

Bring back the PROBE!!!

My wife and I had a 94 that lasted until the wheels were literally getting ready to fall off (Live in the midwest, salt=undercarriage rust). 300k miles, never broke down, not even once. 4 cyl, with manual trans, it got great mileage. Car still ran when we had to get rid of it for safety reasons.

This was my first car I bought. (1994 Probe GT). Owned it for 10 year. It was good car, especially around curves.

Fun fact: the same steering wheel that was in that 1992 Probe was also used in the 2001 to 2004 Ford Escape.

there's 2 of these in my town! A GT, and a base model. I love the looks of this thang. Heck, i'd drive one.

I miss my 91 LX, what a great car. My first car, too. I was so blown away by the power adjustable mirrors and auto-down window at the time. Less amazing was the automatic seatbelts and headlights, but I still have very fond memories of it. The Vulcan 3.0L is a pretty good match for this car, and makes it feel way peppier than it actually is. I'd love to own one again someday, but I think most of them have rusted down to the wheels by now.

Proud Probe owner

I still remember driving my friend's manual Probe and being amazed at the handling and acceleration , for it's time.

I go to sleep watching motorweek retro every night, then I wake up about 2 hours early everyday just to watch more motorweek, during my lunch hour i also watch some motorweek, on weekends i go all crazy on myself with retro motorweek! I just love it! I think I need help, also I normally always play forzamotorsport after watching motorweek

One of my favourite cars, and one of the best cars I owned. I had an Electric Red 2.5 V6 from 2000 to 2004 and loved it. Ok many have said that the performance is disappointing by 2021 standards, but it was alright back then.

Surprisingly, this is a 90's car you just NEVER see on the road anymore.

Love that Probe GT! my sister had a 95 2.0 5 speed and it was plenty fun to drive, not slow, decent! even the base 2.5 redline at over 7000rpm, a really sweet motor, still a great looking car!

fav show ever1!...brings me back to a simpler more fun time in my life!

I owned both the 1st gen Probe and later this version. Mine was a SE model that was added to the lineup in '95 with the 2 liter engine, but included the upgraded suspension from the GT as well as its sharper front end styling. Loved that car - miss it to this day.

I miss my 97 gts 5 spd sooo much bought it in 2007 with 120k sold in 2010 with 170k due to a cross country move still ran great. If i see another one for sale im going to buy it even though i don't need a car just to relive my probe days.

Ford should make a similar car today just like this

Back in ‘95 when my family and I first came to the States, and when I first layer my eyes on this car, I fell in love 😍 right away. It was my dream car! See I g this Bring back lots of memories:)

Bought a GT in 93, and loved every mile I drove it!

Here in Australia we only saw ones (about 1995 on I think) that looked like the GT and ALL had spoilers and the GT mag wheels. The seats in them as standard were a strange racing style seat that was hard to get in and out of.

THANK YOU! Finally! The full review! Opposed to the half review that's been on here for years. ADORE my 1994 Rio Red GT.

That 2nd gen GT design aged really well. Shame Ford discontinued such a great car.

I had the 94' Probe GT with the 2.5l v6..Loved the look and style..The engine was one of the best at that time, but I got eaten up by bigger v6's everytime.

I loved these cars but I can't remember when is the last time I've actually seen one on the road lately

I had an '89 GT - black on black on black. My best car ever and if I found one in mint condition now, would get it in a heartbeat.

Ford (with the help of Mazda) used the best of its design ability on this car... Absolutely beautiful.

I had one of these, the base model, as a rental car once. The company I worked for had a big contract with Hertz, so I often got nicer rental cars for personal use from them. I stopped at a fast food place on the way from the airport to my parents' house. When I came out to get into the Probe, a bunch of kids were huddled around it as if it were some kind of expensive exotic car. The base styling is the best. Gorgeous car.

I farted in my bestie's Probe back in '93. OMG, the stench stuck around well into '95!

I have a 1993 Ford Probe se, had it since 2006 :) LOVE IT!

‘92 probe doesn’t have a bad look to it. Definitely had that import type styling.

I have one. A 95 24v full spec top trim OEM... And for a 25yr old car. 👌.. It's way ahead of its time. And the styling is a beauty. 6L/100km... Nippy, that V6 sound amazing. And above all... POP POP POP UP HEADLIGHTS 😏

The red one at the beginning looks fantastic too.

This is a review of the '93 Probe, which was entirely different than the '92.

One of the best looking cars of the 90’s, insanely futuristic looking for the time period.

Glorious FORD ProbE!

Always wanted a GT with the Yamaha V6 from the Taurus SHO (yep I love that motor! lol)

He really said "The Probe is no tortoise" while showing "0 to 60 in 10,7 seconds" on the screen 😂

Really the best name Ford could come up with was "Probe"? Think about it, a panel of highly educated men sat down in a room and agreed that the best name for their brand new sporty, fast, gorgeous looking car would be the "Probe"....What the fuck.

I ordered a ‘94 Probe GT 5 speed in Vibrant White. Virtually identical to the test car. My first car as a new lieutenant in the USAF. Was fortunate to be stationed for a bit in coastal CA while I owned the car. It was made for CA twisties!! Loved that car…albeit a bit underpowered…certainly by today’s standards.

Definitely a market for affordable sporty/pony cars. Like the neon srt 4, caliber srt 4, cobalt ss, Hyundai tiburon Tuscani, Mitsubishi eclipse, mitMitsubishi Lancers, Subaru wrx. But companies need to keep the cars affordable, basic and great performance for a small price. And a turbo or supercharged v4 or v6 with easy to find upgrades. So anyone can afford one and upgrade it when they have money. It bridges a gap for people who cant afford a v8 pony or muscle car and cant afford a luxury high end tuner car like the neon srt 4 etc. The 90s mazda rx7, nissan 300zx are good examples. That's why the cobalt ss was so popular compared to the better neon srt 4. Because of price. The cobalt ss was cheap, not fancy, quick, easy to mod, cheap to fix and it was easily driven 12 months a year any weather because of the fwd. Though awd would of been best of both worlds and made it more fun but would of cost more

The GT with the 3 spoke wheels had the only directional wheels on both sides of the car (from the factory). Made for such a great look with both sides of the car having wheels going the same direction.

These were really nice looking cars.. circa 97 Probe GT with the silver GT sticker with that deep metallic blue paint and black leather seats.. what a sharp car..

No cup holders. This was the car that the plaintiff in the famous mcdonald's coffee lawsuit was driving.

Great looking car of its time. The design has held up, though sadly you don't see these on the road any more.

Very beautiful this Ford Probe, i love this car

The big problem with this car was the Mitsubishi ignition in the 4 cylinder. The ignition module was included inside the distributor. It got so hot that it would burn the module up. Leave you totally stranded. I finally fixed mine by running the control wires to a GM HEI ignition mounted on the fender well.

Love this car!!!!

Drove a Probe GTS once. Lots of fun.

I've always like this car. I remember seeing one in red, beautiful car.

That white GT looks so slick. In a sea of dull grey crossovers, I'd be over the moon to drive one today. Regulations and market demands make a FWD NA V6 powered coupe with exceptional visibility and low weight an impossibility these days. Maybe the 86 twins are the closest we have today. They're a little faster to 60, brake and handle better and have the benefit of more modern engineering, but they are compromised in their own ways -a portly somewhat bloated crash-friendly design being one of them. Ah well, it was a nice segment of vehicles, lost to time.

I always loved the shape of this car. I used to have the Mazda MX6 twin of the Probe.

I bought my 1996 GT new and still love it.....great car!

Great looking car, if it were RWD it might be worth getting an old one and fixing it up.

Love my Probe still, man....I've now started featuring it in my vlogs. Bout time.

This is my FAV design of Probe, though it was better back when new than it is now.

They really were cool little cars. I had 3 from age 16-25 (93 base, 93 GT, 96 GT) and loved all 3. Never gave me any problems and the 5 spd GTs could definitely hold their own back in the day. Good luck finding a nice example of one nowadays though....☹️

I love how these guys tested base and top end models.

I had one of these in alpine green 2.5 ltr V6 from new in 1996 in the U.K.. a fantastic car.

Great upload, thanks! Any chance you upload the first gen also? please?

Gorgeous cars back then. They still look good today.

It looks lovely in white...

What's going on with the audio, I've noticed many of the retro reviews of late are either in the left or right channel. This one is predominantly left channel until about 4:30, then the right channel cut in. I appreciate faults in the source, especially if it was a stereo recording but the stereo has desegregated, however, this should be easy to compensate for by summing the channels into a mono mix. Really enjoying the retro reviews, please keep them coming.

I test drove one of those when it was brand new a 93 model back in 93 when my dad was looking for a first car for me. I liked it, they wouldn't give my dad the deal he wanted.

Let's put it this way. If the Probe had sold BETTER than the Fox-body Mustang, the current 2016 Mustang would be a transverse-engine FWD coupe with an Ecoboost 2.0T from a Focus ST. I for one am happy the Probe failed because of this reason.

I had a 1994 Ford Probe GT in "Wild Orchid" color (purple). It was on Car and Driver's 10 best cars list. That car was quick, cornered excellently. Except for traffic jams, I had fun everywhere I drove. I hated trading that car in. I am 6`2" and it was a little short on leg room. It had a lot of electrical problems though. The gas gauge was... peculiar.

nice looking car..

Had a 93 gt anniversary blue got 400 000 km out of it great car great handling still miss it

I miss my 93 Probe GT. What a great car

I had both a first gen and second gen probe. First ones were gutless and poorly assembled, but I loved my '95 GT! That Mazda powertrain was the start of my conversion to imports...went to an Acura TSX after that.

I miss those days a lot. And I mean A LOT!!

my girlfriend had a 93' GT and I remember the suspension to be very stiff and roll free, great handling car for a front driver.

I remember when I was driving my Ford Probe, how women would watch me go by, it was just wow!

My first car loved it

If this was a Mustang people would hate it. Since it’s not, we love it. Second gen especially.

This car has actually aged really well stylistically. I'm glad it never replaced the mustang, but was still a good car in it's own right.

I had a 91 v6 as my first car, overdrive didn't work but such a cool car. Wish I was a better drive at 16, wrecked it pretty quickly.

I used to work with a guy that was so proud of his Probe. He was fired the day he posted photos in his cubicle.

I like these even the 4 cylinder model is not bad as long as it has the 15" tire/wheel package. I used to own a 626 that uses the same engine/transmission as the probe GT and I was very happy with it. Smooth, Free Revving V6 although NOT a power monster of an engine. It was pretty good back in the early 90's though.

Love these and their looks. Sadly the few I see locally (and one for sale) are just sitting there...

Beautiful car!
