Nothing really, car wasn't in good shape when I got it, but with a little help from my dad all that was soon fixed and fairly cheaply thanks to the local salvage yard.
Stock Speakers Sucked, but working at best buy fixed that one.
Forgot to change my fuel filter once and the engine stalled on me (my fault though)
Needs new shocks, you feel every bump no matter how fast or how slow you drive.
Clock doesn't light up any more (which is OK because my new cd deck has an illuminated clock)
Had to replace plug wires, but that was cheap and should be done anyways every so often.
This is a great little car its my first and it definitely kicks my friends cars butts.
Seriously, for a 4 cylinder engine this thing gets up and goes, partly due to it having 4 valves per cylinder.
The interior is comfortable.
The car handles like my dads brand new Chevy Impala, but needs new shocks (you feel every bump)
Engine is a little shaky when idling, but I probably just need to adjust the balance shaft a little.
I love the gas mileage too, especially considering gas is 3.19 a gallon here.
Why are there so many Contours in the junkyard? I was at this one by my house in Minnesota, and there were at least 20 Contours, and only a few were there from an accident.
Because Contours are complete garbage. I made the mistake of owning one and that mistake will keep me from buying anything from Ford. It shows why they are in the trouble that they are in with this mediocre quality.
