1997 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"A very delicate baby, if don't have money better try another Dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump fail at 52,000 miles.
The Sunroof has been a totally nightmare, there's no mechanic that can fix it.
The interior things are falling in pieces.
The starter as been wrong since I got it.
General comments?
A good sport car with great engine and power.
Lots of maintenance costs.
If you have patience, bay a car like this.
