1996 Ford Contour GL review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door seal passenger side replaced at 60,000 miles.
Occasional trouble with the gas door.
General comments?
Great car. I have done only routine maintenance and it is still running strong with 137,000 miles on it.
I just had the timing belt and water pump changed as a routine service.
