1995 Ford Contour Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have mixed feelings about the 1995 Ford Contour. Many appreciated its performance, handling, and good fuel economy, especially for a car of its age. The comfortable interior and fun driving experience were also commonly highlighted. However, a few drivers reported issues like cramped space, reliability concerns, and overheating problems."
Given to me by my dad for college, it was great. Still today it is the best handling car I've driven regularly. The V6 DOHC was perfect for the car, great for highway driving. Not much space, however the front seats were designed for a sports car. Wish I could find a suitable replacement.
December 28, 2011Initially they were way over priced....but have become quite a used car bargain! German design adds some quirkiness to the interior but the front seats are very supportive and comfortable. The V-6 makes it a fun car to drive but hard to work on since its packed so tight under the hood. The early SE and later SVT models are the ones to get.
May 30, 2008Great car for the runs to the store and small trips. Dependable vehicle with minor repair being the only problems. Cramped space when working in the engine compartment. Easy to customize with your own styling. College kid friendly without a doubt!

August 29, 2011This was another attempt at a "world car" by Ford and was the most successful up to that point, largely because they didn't mess with the terrific handling the European engineers gave it. Arguably Ford's best overall offering at the time, but had a cramped back seat which hurt sales. Crap automatic tranny didn't help either, sapping performance and economy. Get a manual if you can. Still, handling and overall feel rival BMW, believe it or not. Subsequent generations not sold here carried on the Ford DNA, best sampled in the first-generation Focus.
July 4, 2009For a 1995 v6, the car was great. split forged pistons, power everything. Excellent handling and a punchy 2.5 liter dohc engine with a 6750 rpm redline. Not much for a back seat on the inaugural year, they corrected it by the 96 model year.
March 16, 2011I think the performance is pretty good for how old it is, it is up to date on all of its oil changes it has fairly new tires and is good on gas. it only costs $32 dollars to fill up the tank. So I give it a 3 star for an overall rating.
June 3, 2010Great Car for the original MSRP. Def surpassed expectations from its small 2.5L 24Valve V6 Engine. Tons of attention to detail in to the interior of the car. Unfortunatly it was still inteded as your standard family commuter and lacked durability after 100k miles of pulling the car's peak performance.
April 22, 2008Great car!! fun first tuner. mine was a 2.0L DOHC with a 5-spd. it was fun to drive and fun to work on.
March 26, 2008it's a little small, but that car was one of the most reliable I've ever driven
January 27, 2008The performance was great, it handled well in the snow regardless of not having traction control. The build quality was good when I had the car, but it tended to overheat which eventually led to the head gasket blowing and my having to junk the car. The exterior appearance was okay; i bought the car used so it a scratches but the interior was perfect. the ride was so comfortable too. It was relatively fun to drive.
