I suppose that depends where you live. My Contour was none too reliable but I certainly never had problems with theft even with a decently nice aftermarket head unit in it.

As for winter driving .. man oh man did the car do beautifully!! Even with snow tires on my Maxima I still miss the wonderful predictability of the Contour (with only all-seasons at that).
