1998 Ford Contour review from North America
"Kind of a shame they don't make them anymore... I'll miss this car when she finally goes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield wipers don't stop.
A/C doesn't blow cold and causes the RPMs to jump around.
Sensors (check engine light, etc.) are blown, so lights go off randomly for no reason.
More flat tires than is reasonable.
Problem with muffler/exhaust system (going to take in it to find out what.)
General comments?
First car, and I've really enjoyed it.
Problems I kind of expected because of the age of the car, and wear and tear.
Has gone from New Hampshire to South Carolina five times, and never failed me on any of those trips.
Comfortable and lots of good memories.
