(Actually, officially I haven't even owned a Contour yet; I used a 98.5 SE V6 ATX for a year and a half if that counts and still drive it on occasion. But when I do own one with MTX, it will be my favorite. People are correct when they say it handles like a BMW 3-series. ) Least favorite ford ... if my PGT was more reliable, I would love it! It's got incredible handling and very decent speed. But, broken as it is (pretty much always), it's slipping down the ranks. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX

Great gas milage and plenty of power. Now if I can get the money to do all the things I read and see on here i will be truley happy. 2000 Sport SE

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. all of u should stop driving 99 expedition eddie bauer, 5.4 v8, k&n drop-in, 3" magnaflow catback and gas mileage that makes the contour look like a hybrid

All the cars that got traded in had at least 120K on them at the time. The 96 mystique that my brother totaled had 120K and he blew up the engine from running it too hot the 95 Mystique had 170K and was totaled by running off the road somehow (I am not sure how he managed this one) the 98.5 that I totaled was still young with only 50K when I hit an oil patch on the road and slid into the other lane coming around a corner and hit a van headon. Maybe you need to drive some more. Beaten - 2003 MazdaSpeed Protege 29K <- broken hearted Daily/Weekend Beater - 1990 miata 138K - AutoX every weekend = Adult driven on weekends
