For what all is done (not my taste AT ALL), but it is clean as hell... really good paint job, fitment from the pic's on the body kit are nice, just not my taste. That's pretty ricy if you ask me.

What's so bad about a Probe??  
As for bodykits, I haven't seen one for the Probe that I like yet. The Probe is supposed to be curvy, bubblelike and all aftermarket front bumpers for them that I've seen are not like that at all.

The 2.5liter mazda engine is definitely a bit of a pain..... but most engine failure is due to not having oil or over-revving. Or like me....flooding the engine via a cold air intake. Oh the standard 2.5liter did have 164 hp and like 156Ibs per ft of torque. They were also faster to 60mph than a CSVT but topped out at only 134mph or so. They handled great and sounded great and were all around fun cars. I have the J-spec upgrade which boosts hp to 200 or so. Beleive me they ar nice cars....but I agree that they are a pain to work on and not built as high quality as the CSVT. But nonetheless an all around fun and nice car.
I completely agree!!!

Nothing is wrong with Probes. I didn't mean anything by it except for the fact that although it is clean, I wouldn't drop that much money into that car, that's all. Guess it came off a bit worse than I meant it to. My g/f has a probe, I dig it... sometimes more so than my tour'... thing handles like it's on rails.

Check out probetalk.com and you will see some nice probes in their pics and videos forum. Much like the CSVT the Probe GT and Mazda MX6 were completely passed over and underestimated. I like my Probe but it seems to be a bit of a pian in the ass mechanically.

actually i dont agree that the probe gt was passed over and/or underestimated...when it came out it pretty much killed any hope the vr6 corrado had here in soCal...it was nice designed, comparable in performance and way cheaper...i looked at a new vr6 corrado that was 23-24k at the dealer and then a new probe gt that was somewhere like 19-20k...killed the corrado...but i did notice that the probe seemed to lose steam quickly...part of that could have been that the probe had developed a rep for being unreliable by then
i have a friend now that has a 93 v6 probe gt, cool car but i dont pay much attention to it...its on my list though of cheap car i'd like to have along with a zx2 and a sho

i thought the probe gt had the 6 cyl, not the 4.
u r right...if it was a 95 with a 4banger it was not a gt
