This is a two-page spread from Automobile Magazine's "Buying & Leasing '95" issue covering the 1993 Ford Probe GT as part of a long-term (Four Seasons) test review. The article includes full factory specifications: a 24-valve DOHC 2.5L V-6 (2507 cc) producing 164 bhp @ 6000 rpm and 156 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm, 5-speed manual with gear ratios and a 4.39:1 final drive, dimensions, curb weight (2815 lb), suspension, brakes (vented front/rear discs with ABS), 16-inch wheels with 225/50VR-16 Goodyear Eagle VR50 tires, and performance figures (0–60 in 7.5 sec, 132 mph top speed, 24.7 mpg observed). It lists actual ownership costs over a 38,174-mile review period: scheduled maintenance, warranty and non-warranty repair costs, and common part prices. A "Wear and Tear" box notes problem areas (driver's-side window mechanism, paint job) and NADA used values. Three owners provide real-world likes and dislikes. Competitor specs are given for the 1994 Mazda MX-6 LS, Toyota Celica GT Liftback, and Volkswagen Corrado SLC. A "Running Changes" sidebar explains 1994 updates: passenger air bag, CFC-free A/C, second keyless fob, and new colors including wild orchid on the GT.
