1995 Ford Contour review from North America
"Not bad, but wouldn't buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked intake manifold, head gaskets and valve (s).
Radio speakers both went out.
CV Boot.
General comments?
Ran pretty good for me overall until I hit the $2,300 problem that caused me to have to scrap the car. Head gasket problems are not uncommon in this car.
What's up with the flimsy cupholder. Terrible design on it that will cause many a drink to spill.
Terrible road noise.
Worst headlights I've ever seen.
Rides decently for a smaller car. Good shocks.
Comfortable seat.
