I used to have a '95 GL V6 MTX (blew the engine) and that thing could fly. Now I have a 2001 Daewoo Lanos Sport (hatchback), it looks hot (with a few mods)... but damn it's slow after stepping down from a Contour.
To me, 'today's standards' means gutlessness, but fuel efficient
My V6 Contour is by far the slowst car I've ever owned!
Before, I'd always owned V8 Mustangs that could eat the Contour every time. I consider the Contour as my somewhat sporty 'grocery getter', and nothing more. When it wears the rest of the way out, I would rather buy me a Lancer Evo VIII and then I'd at least have a fuel efficient car that could go low 13s with exhaust and 2 other mods
But for now, I do love my Contour still. It has served it's purpose well, but soon it will be time to move on
