After four years of an extremely Quixotic relationship with my Contour, yesterday I finally traded it in on a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. The decision wasn't hard at all: the Contour had just this side of 97K, the body was showing its age despite my efforts at maintenance, and, in spite of my best efforts (or, perhaps to spite them) the car kept breaking down. Plus, the Sunfire goes like stink!
