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.

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.

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.

Had it for 4 years and its only been in the shop once. And that's was only for a heater coil.

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

I bought it from a lady. I didn't get title. I got the car to work. It did good. There were minor problems, I blame more on the previous owner not taking care of it. Generally it was a good car.

great for city and high way driving.has 170 hp.
