Why the Ford Contour is best for me... - 1996 Ford Contour
By Caroline Tapley - April 23 - 2:00 amThe Ford Contour had 40,000 miles on it when i purchased it. I have 3 kids, and they also loved our car. We do much running around because of the fact i am a mother of 3. All of them are in to sports. All three of them have practice on weekends and after school. So many miles have been put to the car. And is Still running just as strong and looks great and sounds great.

Couldnt be happier with this car! - 1996 Ford Contour
By bockman - April 2 - 2:00 amThis car is excellent for students like myself. It offers decent fuel mileage, good comfort, performance and safety. I bought mine in August 01 and it had 194 ks. The first time I drove in it, I couldnt believe how peppy the 4 cylinder can be and how quiet it remains. I also love the smoothness of the 4 speed automatic transmission. Its main appeal is its handling. (Couldnt ask for better)

No problems - 1996 Ford Contour
By StillLikeMyCar - March 13 - 11:32 pmI bought my Ford Contour GL (4 door) brand new at the end of 1995. It is a 1996 model. Today I have over 87,000 miles on it and have been very pleased with the performance and overall quality of the car. It handles well, has plenty of get up and go, and I have had relatively few problems with it. The worst thing Ive had fixed were worn rotors and a gas tank cover that continues to have difficulty opening. Other than that, I have been very pleased and would recommend it to someone who is looking to by a used car. We are now looking for a new car simply because my husband wrecked his, but we will be keeping the Contour in the family for several more years Im sure.
