Overview & Reviews
The addition of a Sport Package for the GL and LX models and the inclusion of a standard trunk light are the only changes for the 1997 Contour.
- Great peformance with either engine when equipped with a manual transmission. A worthwhile alternative for those who have BMW tastes, yet are restrained by a Ford wallet.

Contour skeptic (at first) - 1997 Ford Contour
By Brandon Hawkins - October 8 - 2:00 amI am young at an age of 18 and i was given this family sedan and was not very happy with it at first. I drove it around one week at the beach after i graduated from High School and fell in love with it. The acceleration alowed me to beat those japanese cars who had all the accesories. I dropped 17 by 7s on it and improved the already perfect handling. I love my car, it is a blast to drive.

Ford lost it in the details - 1997 Ford Contour
By jedame - May 29 - 2:00 amFun to drive car with great interior & dash layout. Tiny backseat-parents stay away. Rattles and squeaks multiply readily.

Still acts and looks like $30,000+ - 1997 Ford Contour
By DGray - May 20 - 2:00 amI ordered this black SE in 1996 and have been completely impressed for the $19,000 I paid. It has all the features you a "semi-picky" person would want and more. The styling and the handling are right on target. The price is incredibly low and a testimony to the lack of "cache" American cars have...even if they were developed in Europe. I think the first review score of 1 was a mistake by the reviewer...thus the low over-all rating.
