1998 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"One Fords BEST Models!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had a Couple MAJOR Failures with this Car. I bought it with 60,000 Miles, but I really like the Performance of it with the test Drive at the Dealer. I had to replace the Water Pump at about 80,000 Miles, along with the Temperature Sensor because it got SO hot. I also had to get a New Alternator at about 90,000 Miles. Other piddley things have been like getting a new Battery for using my radio 5 minutes without the engine on.
General comments?
I personally LOVE this Car. The shear fact that it goes exactly how fast and quick you want it to and handles GREAT makes it something of it's own kind. The size and comfort of it also give it a plus!
