Review: Okay, I will start this review off my stating that while I don't own a Ford Contour, my father did. Well, until I totaled it in a hailstorm at 55 mph by running into a guardrail. I am happy to report that I walked away from the crash with a few...

Pros: all around great car

Cons: cup holders not doing their job

Review: I have leased my 1998 Ford Contour for 2 years now and am extremely impressed with it. I have a 6 cylinder engine,SE model,4 door sedan. The ride is very gentle and not too noisy. There has been 3 recalls as to date, but all have been taken care of quick...

Cons: Automatic Transmission, Road Noise, Factory Stereo

The Bottom Line: Great 1st or 2nd car for the younger set.

The pro's of this car such as the acceleration and handling really stand out. I plan on buying and installing performance parts very soon. Throttle response could...

Pros: Classic Body Styling, Plenty of Power in a mid-sized Car, Quick Fix of Recalls

Cons: Recalls

Review: This was one of those 'accidental' purchases. In September of 1998, I had gone to the Ford dealership with the intention of purchasing an inexpensive car with just a few options. I figured it would probably be an escort.

I chose a loaded...

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Honda Civic driving punks

Review: This is a great car! I have driven Audis, BMWs and many other American and foreign cars alike and no other car comes close to the quality, price and the fun-to-drive level. The car is smooth on the highway, loves twisty roads and laughs at other boring...

Pros: Sporty, dependable....

Cons: Ford is unwise and has cancelled it...

Review: I have had a 98' Contour for 2 years now and have no regrets. This car is a dependable solid sporty vehicle. I would reccomend it to anyway to go by one before it's too late. They are still making them in Mexico for about 1 more year. This year you...

Pros: Rides Beautifully

Cons: None

Review: This is one of the sweetest cars that I have ever driven. I bought my 1998 Dark Blue Contour in September of 1998. I have two children, so I needed a car that was roomy as well as sporty. In the year and a half that I have owned this car, I have put...

Pros: Reliability, very roomy interior and trunk

Cons: Several manufacturer's recalls, manual locks are a pain to deal with

The Bottom Line: Over all, this is an excellent car. You definitely get your bang for your buck.

Review: Since my beloved 1989 Ford Escort went to car heaven two weeks ago, I've had the pleasure of driving my mom's Contour, and I love it. As it is a relatively inexpensive and conservative-looking car, I wasn't expecting it to drive as smoothly as it does,...

Pros: Performance, handling, appearance, price

Cons: stark interior

Review: For those of you who think owning a tight responsive sport sedan costs 20...maybe 30 thousand dollars, you may have overlooked the 170 horsepower Ford Contour SE Sport V6 at just over $17,000! After 20 years of driving Japanese and German 4 door...

Pros: gas, sleekness, performance

Cons: none

Review: This was the first car I ever bought by myself. As soon as the salesman showed it to me, I said, "that's it,that's the one I want." I bought a 1998 four door. The price was not what made me choose it, though the price was great...it was the...
