What are the differences between a Contour LX Sport and a Contour GL Sport? I want to know this, because I own a '96 Contour, but i don't know if it's a LX Sport or a GL Sport. I don't have anything in the book or at the back of the trunk saying what it is, it's just wrote "Ford Contour Sport". One thing I know is that it's not a SE, because they're only made using 6 cylinders motors and mine is a 4 cylinders.

Um, not sure the exact differences between the GL and LX, but pretty much the GL is the base model. Lowest grade I guess you could say.
The LX is one step higher, in luxury and such so therefore possibly...leather seats, sunroof, power locks/windows standard...though I could be wrong

When the 98/98.5 changover occurred, the GL was no more. They changed it to just the LX and the SE, and of course, the SVT. I have a "rare" 98.5 GL since mine was in the factory while this was being transitioned.

look for old brochures on ebay..I saw a few yesterday. The SE model changed in 98 and screwed up the whole "easy to recognize" look of the pre 98's. The pre 98 was a given...alloy wheels..V6, rear spoiler and power accessories. I couldnt believe how crappy they made post 98 SE's ..hubcaps and 4 bangers standard. Yea they had the SVT..but for lower models it was a laugh trying to keep things straight

I got one of the "tweeners". 1999 SE according to the build sheet, and vin decoder, and other thingies, but the Ford web site tells me I have an LX. I don't care, the springs are nice & firm, she handles well, & is lots of fun.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
