1998 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"Very good car and would buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has ever gone wrong with the car.
Only the stereo, but it was after-market and was my own fault.
Have pushed the limits of the car and nothing has ever gone wrong.
General comments?
Overall I am very pleased with its reliability.
My friends thought it would be funny to fill it up with diesel when my tank had no gas in it, not realizing that it could only be syphoned out by the dealership and would be expensive
it ran on 3/4 tank of diesel and only 1/4 tank of gas
it got me to town and didn't even stall once
just let it run out of fuel and filled it back up and runs just like new
didn't have to replace anything at all on it.
