my experience with alignsments is that if they set the car with toe out it will follow the road more and not give any positive feeling, its pretty neutral and that is how my mystique is at the moment.
not if it is set with some toe in, the steering is a bit heavier feeling but it will not track the road and the steering will feel more persice. I believe each side had a 32nd toe in for a total of 1/16 th of an inch toe in, but I don't remember exactly off hand
difference between the two as they were done about the same time was the mystique was done at a shop that sees most run of the mill cars, ie your everyday basic transportation while the contour was done at a place the requarly sees higher end cars like bmws, audi's and the like
