I would say that if you like the Contour you should keep it. I will be getting a ZX5 fairly soon. I am just tired of the Contour, even when it's clean and shiny it's still old. And although it is a fast car, I can't use that speed in the ice and snow. It is a nice car but I would like to try something new, and from the times I took out a Focus I really liked it so it is replacing the Contour. I will say that the cost of repairing the tour and fixing it over the next few years is way lower than payments on the Focus but I'll live.
