I loved this car.  However, I needed a 4x4 to cross mountains in Oregon and Idaho.  Easy ingress/egress, large trunk, fit 4 people easily and was a blast to drive.  SVT package (increased HP, better suspension, interior, body kit, brakes) made this contour a fun drive.  Ford mechanical issues made this car questionable.

Pros — Style and Go
Cons — Ford

The definition of a sports sedan.  Big performance out of a little car.  No aftermarket tuning
required!  Had the car for a long time, but its holding together and still can zip in and out of
traffic like the day it came out of the showroom!  No traction control, front wheel drive and
massive amounts of torque means this is one of the few cars that can burn out off the line!

Pros — Exhaust note, leather interior, handling, torque
Cons — Ground effects vulnerable to high curbs, audio system isn't exactly Bose

This is a good car for the value of it. almost 10 years old and still worth the value of it.

Pros — fun and gets out of it's own way.
Cons — gotta watch out for modders who don't know what they're doing.

Very few were ever made but if you ever owned or drove one you loved it. SVT took a contour and made something out of it. 2.5L DOHC 24V motor is amazing. suspension is amazing holding through corners, stock tires are BFGoodrich G-force T/A which stick like your shoes to the theater floor.

Pros — 175,000miles! 4 doors, 5spd (on track, highway), rare, strong motor, SVT, turbo upgrades! :)
Cons — 5spd(traffic!!!), NA, FWD, heavy
