  Contour.. the under rated Sport Compact - 2000 Ford Contour
  By Guildpilot - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Well, I must say that I have enjoyed my ownership if this car so far. I have the V6 and its perfomance is great. Power when you need it w/ a nice growl.The handling is awesome.It stays glued to the road and is very predictable.Being a car nut and I have to say the Contour, especially in SE Sport trim has beat all within $3-4k of the price.I get great&unheard of fuel economy w/ it. I average 30-32 hwy & city combined.The worst thing that has happened w/ this car is the fuel pump went bad at 60k..They are WELL underpriced compared to the Cavaliers & Neons , Etc. out there.They dont have half the performance and comfort the Contour has.

  good - 2000 Ford Contour
  By xavia2 - March 16 - 2:00 am

  This is in my experience a pretty good car. I have not heared any complaints. If you live on dirt road, the struts can be costly Apr. 1000 for all 4 with alignment Im going in for the first time in 5 years.

  Great Little Econo-Sport Sedan - 2000 Ford Contour
  By kent4978798 - February 24 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my 99 SE Sport for 4 years now and have enjoyed it the whole time. Ive had no major problems (knock on wood) except for a slight deformation in the dashboard, which I realized too late was a recall item that I never took advantage of. Its a great drive.

  Pocket Friendly Road Car - 2000 Ford Contour
  By pastajay - January 1 - 2:00 am

  I have had a good experience with this vehicle. Besides routine maintenance, the only problems I have had with this car was the replacement of the fuel pump and a recall for the dashboard cover (warping in high heat). The fuel pump was under warranty and the dashboard replaced for free. I do have a peculiar problem with my car only when it is below freezing and the engine is cold- the airbox makes a funny resonant vibrating noise. My car has currently has 62000 miles on it and will probably give me that much more I guess...

  This car hasnt left me stranded have almost 53K miles. The 4cy w/ auto is good but the MPG could be better. The A/C sucks, I live in Phoenix, and during the summer the A/C has a hard time cooling the inside of the car down.

  Not Bad - 2000 Ford Contour
  By ALS - July 19 - 2:00 am

  This is a company owned vehicle, which I got new in 2000. Its up to 110,000 hard driven miles and still going strong. Only problem has been replacement of fuel pump (2 so far), winshield wipers broke, and several bad pieces of interior and exterior trim have come loose/broke/fallen off. There is now alot of squeaking/moaning/groaning coming from its underside, despite recent replacement of all struts and and misc other suspension components. It did have serious handling problems in heavy rain and snow util I went with Aqua- Treads, now its glued to the road. The v-6 still has its bite despite the high mileage.

  I have been very pleased with my car, I have had 0 major problems (just a 7$ part and regular maintenance) and that is after 63K miles! Car is a blast to drive as well, great handling, and a beautifully revving V6. Great college car!

  We like the Contour SE Sport - 2000 Ford Contour
  By Dave in Michigan - May 22 - 2:00 am

  We love the moon roof, the 32 valve V6 in a light car gives good fuel economy and acceleration. Handling is OK, fairly quick steering, firm but not harsh suspension. Body seems solid, but there is a bad dash rattle. Size is just right for city traffic, not too small. Good visibility on lane changes and cruises well on interstate.
