Used 2000 Ford Contour 4 Dr SE Sedan for Sale near Carrollton, GA

It is the Zetec, so not much power, but in the twisties this car shines. The 130 horsepower and 130 foot pounds of torque do enough to move the car, but not swiftly. But get in a twisty road and this car will make you smile.

It's rather generic looking, but despite the lack of visual zing, it's loads of fun. The 4 banger provides adequate performance but the handling is where this car shines. For this 6 footer people sitting behind me have to be short or just short trips.

Overall the worst car I've ever owned. Was an automatic that stalled constantly and for no reason. Bought it used in 2001 and wished I had never purchased it after buying it. Luckily never spent to much money in repairs and was able to trade it in for my current car only a fews after buying it. I do miss my stereo though.

I have the V6, and I absolutely love it! I average 24 mpg, and I am pretty hard on it. It is much faster than the 4 cylineder, and I have had almost no problems. Performance is great for a sedan. Build quality kinda lacks, the back doors squeak regardless if you use white grease, and the back seals don't keep dust out from the dirt roads. I love the way my car looks! I bought my car with 74,000 miles on it, and have just changed the tires, flushed the antifreeze, flushed the transmission, change the air filter, change the fuel filter, and do oil changes. I now have almost 111,000 on it.

From the front, it looks like a Mondeo. Get inside, and all the plastic will make you realize you are in an American car built to a price somewhere in Kentucky. It sounds similar to a Mondeo V6 and has the same pick-up (the engine is from the same source) but the handling has been made softer. Good and, I am told, better than many American cars handling-wise, but too soft by European standards.
