I love my mom's soon to be mine contour, see i drove an 87 volvo station wagon for a year, its quite a step up.

1. the clutch engages the last 1/4 of the way out
2. its 1/4 mile isnt under 14 like my friend's civic
3. back doors squeak
4. going to spend too much money on it
5. paint all scratched up
6. a little too high off the ground, dont know how much I want to drop it.
7. mileage better than volvo, but still low 20s high teens

other than that I love it, stock wheels are not that bad for stock, same with sound.
