My main concerns are with the basic treatment from SVT.
Unlike some of the others here, I have not had any issues with the tranny, oil starvation, shifter, sunroof, or anything...I will state though, I do have some bumper sag. All in all, so far the car has been a complete joy.
My complaints are with how SVT looks at their customers. I would expect 'no contact approach' had I just purchased a Ford, but I bought the SVT. Other than a couple magazines that have nothing in them for Contour owners
and get this, hardly anything that just says SVT...everything has Lightning or Cobra plastered on it , a few issues of SVT Enthusiast, which is now gone (I however did see a Contour article in one...thanks), and a certificate, you guys are non-existent. In my fifth year of owning a Saturn (just your basic run of the mill car) I was receiving invites to Spring Hill, Tennessee, ball game tickets, booklets from SPS Racing (an invite to the aftermarket world), notifications on events in the area, pamphlets on up and coming cars....things I think SVT should be doing, not sending a "This is your last copy" magazine ?unless we get some cash?...and giving it to SVTOA, the site we needed to fight to get recognition from...
No offense, but I get about the same contact from Ford in buying my Explorer...pretty sad to say huh?
If this vehicle is truly Special...we as owners should be treated as if it really is, from the people we trusted when buying it. Thanks for listening Troy...I am already getting a better opinion by just venting my frustrations
