Any suggestions/warnings about those cars, especially with the Chrysler/Dodge one because I've never owned those makes.

Thanks.



They are not even in the same hemi-sphere as the Contour platform.


If I were trading my SVT in the short list would be:

Infiniti G35 6-speed (AWD maybe??? )

Mazda 6 5-speed (Mazda Speed version???)

Maybe even the new 05 Subaru Legacy GT (2.5L turbo, AWD, & 5-speed)

Also all three come in a 5-door Estate for the wagon lovers. (Our next car will probably be one. )


Definitely not a slush driven couch like the Taurus or the something similiar.


2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
