1994 Ford Contour GL review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Springs broke twice, once @ 153K and again @ 156K. Put second hand strut/springs. Mechanics informed me that the springs for the middle 90's Fords are notorious for breaking.
2) Tune up @ 115K miles
3) Alternator change @130K.
General comments?
Car has been surprisingly nice to me.
I kept it single hand driven (except for the ocassional friend borrowing). Gives decent gas mileage.
Regular oil changes and coolant flushes have kept the car is good running condition.
Roomy car with less maintainance.
Overall, a good experience so far.
