1998 Ford Contour review from North America
"Car Sucks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My mother owns a Ford Contour a.k.a. the worst investment of her life.
I drive it occasionally, when forced with no other option, and whenever I go to turn, it makes this weird, loud noise that everyone can hear - quite embarrassing.
The hub cabs have completely come off while driving, accelerating feels really weak, and my mother had to buy new breaks. The air bag light comes on and off going over bumps which freaks me out a bit, and also the emergency break doesn't work anymore - I've driven a few times with it up with no problem.
Although it's never broke down or died, I still don't like the car at all.
The AC and HEAT works quite well though!
My mother paid close to $10,000 because it was 'brand new' and now it's worth like $1,000.
I wouldn't recommend a Ford Contour... or a Ford in general.
