1997 Ford Contour GL review from North America
"A great performing car with good gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My fuel injectors had to be cleaned due to being dirty from bad gas.
The check engine light comes on every now and then, but my mechanic is looking into it.
General comments?
This car handles and performs great.
I have tested it out against high performing cars and it blows past them.
Although many of the parts are made cheaply, you can avoid breaking them with simple maintenance.
