1999 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"Don't Waste your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dashboard has warped-of course.
The engine cuts off when the gas tank is not even close to being empty.
The brakes don't last very long.
General comments?
The general price is quite wonderful, but the dealers are horrible. I would not buy another Ford as long as I live.
