2000 Ford Contour SVT review from North America
"An enthusiast's dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission was replaced due to shifting difficulties (one freebie per car, this one happened really soon so I hope there are no other issues).
Minor interior creaking.
General comments?
Fastest 4 door for the money, and can top cars that are 15 grand more in price.
