The entry-level of Ford's sports cars, the Probe, was released as a 1989 model.
Year-to-year changes
1991
The original Ford Probe had three trims -- GL, GT and LX.
1993
The 1993 Ford Probe, which was redesigned from its previous model years, was unveiled at the 1992 North American International Auto Show on January 9, 1992, and went on sale in dealerships on July 9, 1992.
1995
Ford's sporty hatchback, the Probe, receives a mild freshening for 1995. Available in base and GT trim, the biggest change on both models concerns new optional wheels. New 15-in. unidirectional, 3-spoke aluminum wheels are available for the base Probe and new 16-in. unidirectional, aluminum 5-spokers for GT. Other exterior changes involve a new taillight design and a restyled rear treatment for the GT.
Inside, you'll find a second cupholder on the console, new seat fabrics and restyled door panels.
The Probe is a front-drive "Mustang alternative" for younger buyers. The line also offers an alternative to the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring, Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Nissan 240SX, Toyota Celica and Mazda MX-6.
Although their bodywork is different, the Probe shares its mechanical components with the MX-6 and is built in the same factory as the Mazda in Flat Rock, Michigan.
The base Probe is motivated by a 118-hp Four, while the GT gets its oats from a dual-cam, 164-hp V6.
Probe offers real sports car performance (not just appearance) for the money, with its quadralink independent rear suspension and stabilizer bars at both ends. The GT has a special sport suspension to complement its added power.
Both models come with dual airbags. Antilock brakes, larger wheels and high-performance tires are standard on the GT and optional on the base Probe. Other options on both models include leather front seats, power sliding sunroof and a power driver's seat.
1997
The last Ford Probes went on sale in July 1997.
1998
Shortly before the Probe's discontinuation, its successor, the Escort ZX2, goes on sale as an early 1998 model.
