With all the problems big and small that we all have had, with Fords poor service care, if you had known this before, would you still buy your Contique ??

Caught in the middle on this one.
Got a great deal, new only 20K + a $600 rebate from my Citibank. so $19.4
Now my car is tough to resell.
I wish I would have kept my Protege a few more years, the savings would have me into something really really nice.
Then again, I still enjoy it, love the looks I get everyday in it. I really don't want to be that guy driving another BMW, MBZ or Audi. No other performance cars that have 4 doors fit the bill for me.

I voted YES. Sure, I've had my share of little problems in the short time I've owned it like lots of people. There just isn't anything that I like in the same (affordable) price range that I could have looked at as an alternative. Knowing that there are problem areas is valuable to me though because I have an idea of the few limitations there are and can take care so as to not break stuff that I might have had I not known of those limitations.
