Best 900 Bucks I Ever Spent — Performance: Lots of power for a economy 4 door because of the 2.5 v6 Plus it has a 5 speed so you have the fun factor. Build quality: I got it as a reconstructed car and there is very little damage but it set off the airbags which broke the windshield which is a dumb design flaw. Appearance: Looks pretty sporty for a 4 door sedan, stock wing. Cost of ownership: Cheap so far but i have some basic maintenance things to do to it soon. Fun Factor: Sporty little sedan with plenty of power for a little bit of fun Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Proseasy to drive, handles well, gets good gas mileage Conssometimes difficult to work on, too easy to spin the tires, performance upgrades are hard to come by, alternators are a PITA to change

Great First Car, Fun To Drive Spiritedly Yet Still Has Good Gas Mileage — Performance- good acceleration, braking, and handling Build Quality- Alternators don't last long and are hard to replace, Coil springs prone to breakage Appearance- nice styling with smooth body lines Cost of ownership- gas mileage is good, alternators don't last long Fun factor- Very easy to drive and fun to drive. The V6 has plenty of power and the gears in the 5 speed manual are just right for fun spirited driving Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Love The Car And Suggest It To Everybody, Great First Car — I LOVED my Contour, it was the most comfortable car I have ever driven and it fit all of my friends comfortably. Being 6'6" finding a car that I have legroom in is hard to come by. It was able to haul a** when needed also. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

77k Miles And Still Solid. — Bought this car for 10k some years ago, with 47k miles. It goes 0-60 a lot faster than my subaru, has quick braking and turns on a dime. Great mileage for an old car...I'ce worked it to 79k miles and all i had to do was replace the starter. It's a comfortable, quiet car...it's great for the city or highway. Great daily driver. | ||

ProsIt looks good....but that's as good as it's going to get. ConsCheap parts break easily and can only be replaced by the dealer at high prices.

I Will Never Buy Another Ford, Especially A Contour — The Ford Contour I bought runs good and is comfortable to drive, but the parts on it are extremely cheaply made and break very easily, especially the handles to roll up the windows. All 4 of them broke and I can only get them at the dealer, for $16.00 each. That's insane! On top of that, the majority of the parts that break are only available from the dealer at HUGE prices. The dipstick broke because it is made of cheap plastic, and it broke off right at the dipstick tube, so I almost didn't get it out. The dashboard curled up due to heat from the sun and can't be fixed, only replaced (by the dealer of course). The car has been a constant annoyance and I can't wait to trade it in on a non-Ford auto as soon as possible. I HATE this car and now I know why everybody rags on Fords. They are very cheaply built and you can't get replacement parts anywhere except the dealer. Owner for 4 years, 0 months Primary Use: Family transportation Miles Driven per Year:1,000 | ||
