Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General favritoe ford?

My favorite would have to be my SVT.
Close second was my 93 Probe GT
Then we have the other fords:
87 Escort GT
81 Mustang
The Mustang was my first car. It was the Ghia model with four on the floor. Looked good but all the power windows and locks didn't work. It had t-tops that leaked every time it rained. The A/C didn't work. The car was black with vinyl seats. The combo of color and vinyl in Texas in the summer, not good. But exterior looked damn good.

I am including my parents cars because some of them I drove quite a bit an I am including the sable wagons since they are so much like the taurus.


90 Taurus wagon (parents) - Traded in
93 Taurus wagon (parents) - Traded in
95 Mystique V6 MTX (parents) - Totaled by my brother
96 Mystique I4 ATX (parents/sister) - Totaled by my brother
96 F-150 (parents)
96? sable wagon (parents) - Traded in
98.5 Contour Se (Mine) - Totaled by me.
00-02? sable wagon (parents) - Currently being driven by my brother in boston for a few more months until he finishs up with some school stuff there.
00 Contour SE Sport (Mine) - Current only car for me.

The best is the 00 SE. I hated all the taurus/sable wagons after I found out what it was like to drive a nice car like the mystique. I only had the 98.5 for a little less than a year (25K ?) but the 00 SE is going on three years for me (108K) so I have had a lot longer time to like it.

My Ford Contour '98 gl is the best CAR that i owned so far
but my 1990 Ford Bronco was the best truck that i had v-8 5,8l 4x4 i miss that truck especially in winter time

and for the worst it had to be my mercury zephyr '81 power steering was dead needed both of my arms to turn, took 3-4 quarts of oil/week flasher arm broken, rusted inside out, bad starter, alternator....danm just of piece of sh!t car winter beater

I would say my favorite ford so far was my 1979 Mustang Indy Pace Car replica. It was the v-8, not the 2.3L turbo. That car was not that fast, but it was rare (around 10,000 made) and looked cool. The car turned heads wherever it went. My SVT would be my favorite, but owning it for a little over a year has been a total nightmare!

I have had a 94 probe gt...nice(i totaled it)
94 eddie bauer bronco....loved it(dad totaled it)
98 styque with too much money in it(love it tho)
and my favorite is my dad and I's 03 6.0l turbo diesel f250...kicks my v6 atx's ass
my mom has an expedition....slow and large...

That's easy.

99 Ford SVT Contour.

Other vehicles that were in the stable (in chronologic order):

76 Honda Civic Semi-automatic
81 Plymouth Horizon
82 Olds Omega coupe
89 Honda Civic Si (Jackson racing enhanced)
89 Ford Probe GT
92 Mazda MX3 GS
95 Ford Contour SE
96 Ford Probe SE
98 Ford Contour SE
97 Ford Taurus SHO (4)
98 Ford Taurus wagon
98 Mercury Courgar V6

1999 CSVT- Love it Love it Love it
1996 C SE- Love it too, but less exciting than the SVT
1990 Tempo- reliable and fun to beat on
1986 Merc. Lynx wagon- reliable(even with 196,000 miles), stick , ugly as sin, and outran my friend's Cadillac Eldorado(I obviously had a head start, but he couldn't catch me doing 115. Who knows how fast I was going ).

All have been great cars. Ford deserves more credit than is given.

My 2000 CSVT for sure, followed closely by a modded 93' Mustang LX 5.0

favorite ive owned is my contour, favorite of all time would be the 64.5 mustang, it helped get the ball rolling on the muscle car age
