has anyone here seen a really good looking 95 contour?
i think the small oval grill with the dinky looking headlights, and the reflector make it pretty ugly.
i love the latter models tho.

Wow, that's a pretty random post. I bet some of the 95 guys (which yeah, don't look quite as good as a 96  ) will post some pics.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

when putting my 95 against my husband's 2000, I think his looks nicer.
But I wouldn't say that my 95 is UGLY.

I remember when they first came out for some reason I thought they looked like small whales.....I will say though, I don't care for them as much, there are some nice ones out there. I was quite impressed with Scott & Jims. Originally posted by itskub:

Hahaha thats funny, I like how your not beating around the bush. I agree that the 98+ look better but with an SVT bodykit a 95 can look damn nice to.

Really? I think the 95 looks a hell lot better than the Post 95's
Chrome stripe looks great on them, they dont have that stupid OBD2 [censored], I dont know why the 96+ tours have that stripe, but its painted in.... The chrome stripe had some style to it 
I love my 95

Post 96? 1997-onward, or do you mean post-95?
I don't like the chrome strips or lack of OBDII, and several of the color schemes, but there are definitely some 95s that look awesome. All said I don't love the 95, but don't hate it either ...

Typo 
Well, what I don't like about OBD2 is when the computer is reading information wrong, but car is producing it correctly, the stupid Air Team testing place will fail the car for the CEL or fails the OBD test. 95 they Dynotest it. I know my car passed Dyno with a bad EGR, and possibly [censored] O2 sensor.
Sure the 95 has her flaws, the rear seating, but [censored] the rear passengers
I think I would probaly choose a 95 over a 96 or newer, unless its an SVT

Yes.
Unless it's an SVT, I think the front end of the 98+ look awkward. The eyes are too big for the face. On the SVT, the more aggressive lower grill balances it all out.
