Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General A final farewell to all CEGers

i think contours may be hit or miss. back in 95 my mom bought a LX Zetec 5speed. That car was a disaster.. but what can you expect fro mthe dealer demo? within the first year second gear barely worked and there were rattles everywhere. ford service said "they one fix things that are broken". according to them none of those things were broken. However, one of my good friends had a 96 Xetec auto and hers runs great. her uncle gave it too her and bought a zetec focus. i recently bought a 98 SE Sport Duratec 5speed and i love it. it was cheap, but it runs great. its really good condition and hasnt cost me much at all. its expensive to insure, but i love this car. runs great. im sure there are some bad contours out there... as there are with all cars. we have had 3 chevrolet blazers in the last 5 years. 2 were great(first one went over 250k) but 1 that we bought for my brother was a disaster... electrical problems. only thing left you car replace is radiator(basically). they r cars. they break down. some more than others, but thats there nature.
