Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Economy/Sport Transmission

On a driver reponsive transmission like the one in the Contours (which will do whatever your right foot tells it to do), the sport and economy modes are useless gimmicky frills, almost as bad as these selectable gear monstrosities. It may be a European car feature to make the car appear more upscale, but it does not help the performance or function of the car. You hold your foot down, and it will hold it all the way up the tach.
