2000 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"Best car that Ford has ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well one night I was driving down a road and I hit a hog. I was doing about 85 miles per hour, and all it did was make a tiny little whole in the bumper and bust the radiator. But other than that nothing.
General comments?
This car is one of the best cars I have own in my life. It has a nice design, and when you turn the headlights on and the fog lights, and look straight into the grille at the Ford symbol, the car means business (it looks mean).
The spoiler on the back makes is look so much nicer, and the wheels are really nice.
The seats are so comfortable. They fit my body so nice, I felt safe.
The take off power is amazing. With the 24 valve V6 this baby can fly. It handles like a 30,000 dollar car.
The radio is OK.
But other than that, I will have this car for a very long time.
