Hey A$$hole. I own an SVT Contour. I'd rather drive a Celica. Don't get me wrong, I love the Contour but the durability sucks. And I do take care of my cars. We didn't even have the title yet and the tranny was shot on the Taurus. Some old man drove it before us and yes, it was well maintained. The tranny went on our VACATION and unless I wanted to sell the car and buy two plane tickets or trade it in on a new Ford Focus with what, ah, 8 recall so far, I needed the dealer to fix it so I could go home on time to WORK the three grand off.
FORD. POS.
I say we give Ford bad advertising on sites like this and maybe they will learn to take care of their dwindling market share. Or is that their strategy? Mass produce junk and make a killing in dealer repairs?
I had a Toyota Corolla prior to my first '95 Contour. That thing I regularly revved to 7 grand and beat the hell out of that car. It never needed any repairs, ran great, great gas mileage and was dependeble and a blast to drive. A car is that is never fast enough to pass the nearest service station is not fast to me.
