1996 Ford Contour LX review from North America

This question is more like what has not gone wrong. I drove another contour, and I liked it, so I bought this one. I get great gas mileage, but that is about it.

My check engine light has come on 8 times in fourteen months and no one seems to know why. My windows fog up as well.

I am burning through coolant like no tomorrow--also no one knows why.

My gas cap does not "pop open" like it should, I have to open the truck to pull the latch before I can get into the tank.

Now it is shifting strange, and my overdrive off light keeps coming on--I never even had an over drive off light before two weeks ago.

So my transmission is going, as is my head gasket, I have had brake problems It makes weird noises and it smells bad.My engine runs very hot. Also the seats are not very comfortable. I like the car, it just runs extremely bad. I would not recommend the 96 edition--I have had way too many problems.

Please Please research used cars before purchasing them, I have had so many problems--this car is costing me more than payments on a new car would have been. If anyone wants to buy a car--this one is for sale, I think I have fixed every possible thing that could go wrong with it.
