Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General things I miss about my Contour

That was a good writeup man! The Mazda is a sweet car too.

Hmm,I'm on my second Contique,so what do I miss about my old beloved '98 Mystique Zetec ATX?

-I miss my mint leather seats I picked up from a wreckers
-I miss the 60/40 folding rear seats
-I miss my old stereo. I had a sweet system in that thing
-I miss the colour black
-I miss the post98 Mystique styling. I think a post98 Mystique looks better than post98 Contour (exclude SVT),but a pre98 Contour(SE)looks the best

Things I don't miss:
-Zetec
-Automatic
-the terrible,terrible gas milage
-lack of power
-eating front brakes like mad
-rust
-tinted windows that were too dark to see out of at night
-my insurance premium. For some reason because it was a 98 I was paying rediculously high rates because my insurance company said it was still a fairly new car. yeah,7 years old with a 4 banger. I paid $500/mo if you can beleive it. Now I have a V6 and a '95 and I pay $230/mo. Go figure.

I traded my Mystique in for my Contour and I've never been happier. The Mystique was the car that got me hooked on the Contour family and now my Contour is a work in progress piece showing just what can be done to make an already good car even better.

Things I like about my Contour:

Everything,except for no 60/40 rear seats or usable cup holder. Best car I've ever had. Never selling it.
