i guess this would be the place to post this but i dont have a contour but plan on getting an svt, now for those of you that have had or do have an svt how hard is it to work on? would you say harder than another car you have had or easier...etc.


also if this is posted wrong please let me know...just thought that may be a pro or con...i also own a zx2 escort if that helps with anyones decision because im coming out of working on a 4cyl going into a v6 and never owning anything but my current car

I used to have a 95 Escort GT and my SVT is some what harder to work on and more time consuming, but like stated before the.....V6 is worth it.

SVT Pros:
Fun to drive
Comfortable ride.
Plently of power (though I want more )
Looks great.
And the best pro of all time.......... IT'S NOT RICE !!!

SVT Cons:
At times a pain to work on.
Semi-expensive parts.
CEL's!!
Speed sensors (I have one out and there about $160 a sensor )


All in all I'm happy I bought the car.
