Actually the GT is a 6cyl and the other models are 4cyl I have a 96 probe se and it's the biggest pos I've ever owned as someone else said it's a mazda in ford badging and I will never own another ford or mazda as long as both companies have something to do with each other. Sorry to say this in the ford forum

the 96 I have is on it's 2nd motor and it's only 130,000 on the chasis and the second motor and the second motor has a bad oil leak like it pours out of the motor when turned on and it's only got 7x,xxx miles on it. Both owners before me was an older man and a lady so it wasn't beat on it just sucks IMHO
