Sure some cars have problems.
My car IS a lemon, no question about it.I know alot of people have had problems with their Contour's.
I am glad to hear not everyone has had problems. The Contour is a nice looking car.
I know how to take care of a car. I know more about them than my husband does. My father was a mechanic, and I have 4 wanna-be mechanic brothers, so I learned some things along the way. Plus I was on my own for a while and had to take care of my car as I had no one else to do it. I really hate when men say women are bad drivers. Not all women are bad driver and not all men are good drivers.
I would learn how to take care of a car if I did not know how. As far as that girl went, she should of been taught, told, and instructed on when to change the oil, etc.
Do not assume everyone knows how, Not all men know how either.
Anyway, I agree with most of you that there are better cars out there. I still say avoid buying that contour unless you have money and are a mechanic.
