Well can I say that hasen't been said. RELIABILITY!! Go look at the Problems Forum. How many SVT owners had water pump failures, most at under 50/60K miles. Is Ford putting garbage part on their cars? Is a plastic impeller cracking every 40-50K miles Fords' way of getting money out of us? I had a 93 Thunderbird with nothing but problems (power windows, headlight switch, head gaskets, ac, etc...) I figured it was a 93 so what can i expect. Went to a 98 SVT Contour and the water pump goes bad. Where have you seen a Toyota Camry or a Honda Accord forum where people complain about problems with their "fairly new" cars? We also own a 95 Toyota Tercel, has not seen the inside of a repair shop (other than tune-ups) since we took it off the lot in 95. Now for SVT. Troy, is Ford even sure they created the CSVT. SVT has no merchandise, no support, no aftermarket parts. I think i'de have a better chance of getting an SVT Contour shirt if I went to www.thisistoyota.com, but oh well what can we do, right? All our complaints, and questions will just go unanswered, why? Because we're to busy getting ready for the ALL NEW 2002 Ford Focus. A good idea would be to listen to everybodys car problems, get ahold of Ford Motor Co. and start issuing recalls. Oh by the way
