1997 Ford Contour Sport review from North America
"Don't go with a ford"
General comments?
I have had this car since 2002. I have put a lot of work in it. It seems to run REALLY good then one day BOOM it needs $800 dollars put in it. Then runs really good then BOOM another $900. And there major problems. I have had pretty good luck with this car, but I would NEVER AGAIN buy from Ford. I was always quoted huge amounts from people to fix it. I got in a small fender bender and my entire CD deck came flying out and my rear-view mirror flew off. I think this car was poorly made.
