The SE is powered by the "Duratec" 2.5-liter V6, and was the sports-luxury sedan of the line until the mid-year introduction of the limited- production SVT. The SVT has a tuned version of the Duratec engine with more power and a sport-tuned suspension, and slightly different trim. " http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicles/new/reviews/1998/russ091297.html confused now... but he goes on to say "I did have a chance to drive an SVT at Sears Point International Raceway earlier in the year, and found it to be a quick and wonderfully-handling, world-class small sports sedan." which im sure is a repost but cool WORLD CLASS 1996 ford contour sport Originally posted by Cookie Monster: Sometimes I just start slowing down and glare in the rearview and say "yeah I could go for an SVT rear".

Quote: It gets even more confusing with the new 1998.5 models, where essentially the GL is gone, the LX is what the GL used to be and the SE is basically the LX. The available "sport" package on the SE gets you up the the relatively same level as the 1998 SE. A 4-cylinder SE with steel wheels? Yes, it's now possible (how awful!)

I don't have the leather steering wheel or leather ATX shifter, fold down rear seats, intermittent wipers (changed that!!), nor a host of other little things you'd think would be included in the package.

And the old style SE was dropped. "I thought (insert major incorrect car assumption)" It is funny the newbies don't read the FAQ's. And where do some get their "thoughts" about cars?
