Hi all. I just picked up a 98 contour (2.5L duratec auto) and ran across this site. You guys got some really good info here.
I already noticed the problem in the faq with the revs staying high (for emissions) and plan on fixing that.

Overall I have to say the car's really impressive. Good response in the midrange but handling is a bit shakey (probably from the crappy tires I have).

Anyway, hope to hear more from ppl.

S.

Welcome to the club!! I think you'll find this is one of the best run forums around. Also has a bunch of great people with LOTS of knowledge about the contour/mystique.

Welcome to da Family

Start moding - it's largely a waste of money - but it is the only reason to own this car

True about it being a waste of money, I regret my first mods cuz I got addicted and by the time I realized it was a waste I put too much money into the car so I'm stuck with it unless I wanna downgrade to a geo or owe money on a slightly better car.

Hello and welcome! You didn't say what trim level you have but the SE Sport is the better handling of the 98+ non-SVT's trim levels.
