2000 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"An economical choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Three days after I first bought the car I went for a short drive. I came home and parked the car and couldn't get the key out of the ignition. I had to have a new ignition installed, though this could have been the fault of the previous owner because the key was slightly bent.
General comments?
This car has a powerful engine, for a 4 cylinder.
The sound system isn't very good, but again it could be the fault of the previous owner because one of the speakers has static in it.
