Troy, I don't believe there is anything SVT [or whatever the outfit is called now] can do to remedy the problems many of us have with our Contour SVT's. At $21K new, I expected a car with slightly less fit and finish than say a comparably priced Accord, but that would be much more fun to drive. Well, the car is certainly more fun to drive but the quality is so dreadfully far below my expectations. I take my role as a consumer *very* seriously. I could ***** and moan about Ford and SVT to everyone I know [and if they ask, I just might]. In the end however, the only direct recourse I have is to never buy another Ford product. I want to make sure at least *one* person there knows this....twenty years from now, when one of my sons is getting ready to buy his first car, I will quietly remind him what I think of Ford products.
