My turn:
1) Heater fan only blows on high
2) Serpentine Belt worn/slips occasionally. I have a new Goodyear Gatorback, but don't have the time or garage space to change it so off to the mechanic b4 x-mas with that one
3) Stock cassette player sucks with portable CD player adapter and stock speakers = My girl might be fixing that tho!
4)In winter dome light goes on every once in a while when the door is open instead of all the time when door is open
5)Front bumper is scraped up from encounter with gravel pile and rear bumper is scratched from being rearended while turning onto my street after work in august. Both will be fixed when I get my Sport trunklid painted after winter!
That's it. I love my tour tho. Winter driving is awesome, summer driving is awesome, and it's way better than my last car that I had until I graduated high school-an 81 Ford Fairmont, which had more problems than I have time to list. All I can say is leaky rear seal and oilpan gasket May that car RIP

Yeah, I looked into a ZX2 also before I got my contour. Had I not found my 96 GL I probibly would have a 98 ZX2 with high miles.

Like any other car, a ZX2 will treat you right if you properly maintain it. Mine has been relatively problem free, aside from crappy mileage and dents and dings all over the damn place.

In the future, I'll be sure to go four doors. It's beyond annoying now to get out and fold the seat so somebody can get in the back since we all car pool for college down here. I do/did take care of it though.
