Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General What GM Europe offer against the Mondeo..

meeh. thats all i have to say.

its funny you say that. an integra can get 200hp from a 2.0 and it takes ford a 2.5?? hahahahah, ford is a joke!!

because those cars are designed very well and are very simple, elegant, and inexpensive cars to build.

People think the Contour looks like many other cars, too.

Also, the Malibu is planned to be not watered down. But, let's see what is put on the market first.

I drove a '99 Opel Vectra when I was on vacation in Ireland back in 99. And let me tell ya, that car was sweet. The only thing I didn't like, was the mega-crappy radio. I left it set to one station the whole time I was there. My cousins loved the car, and one was looking into buying it as her next car.Too bad I had to rent an auto, my sister can't drive stick and refused to let me rent a 5 speed.

There was one very weird thing about the headlights. I found a wheel knob on the dash that raised and lowered the headlights slightly. This was in addition to the high/low beam switch on the stalk.

the little switch is to keep the headlights straight in front of you if you have a large load in the back. since the back will sag, therefore blinding oncoming drivers.

WOW!
I learn something new everyday.

i guess at least earlier models were 1.8 liters. oh well still impressive. i thought it was a 2 liter.
