  Awesome - 2000 Ford Contour
  By sals - July 31 - 4:25 pm

  My wife and I love this car. It wont die! Still starts every time with 280,000+ miles on her! Besides the normal maint. weve had to put a fuel pump on it at about 140,000. The way its going I dont think 300,000 miles is too far from its future. American cars do last if you take care of em and do the preventative maint. like you should on every car.

  Best car Ive ever driven - 2000 Ford Contour
  By Daniel - April 21 - 12:52 am

  I bought this car in 2004 with 35,000 miles, now it has 79,000 and the only problem Ive had was the fuel pump went out at 52,000 miles. Other than that only routine maintenance: oil changes, plugs, tires, etc. Now some parts are wearing, but the car is 10 yrs old so its expected. Great car I love it. Unfortunately somebody ran a red light and plowed the right side totaling the car. However it still drives and is reliable. Im getting a 98 Contour but still plan to keep my 00 contour for backup.

  This has been a solidly reliable car - 2000 Ford Contour
  By Dave - January 30 - 10:05 pm

  This car has required only 2 minor repairs in 76,000 miles. We drive it daily and have taken a number of long trips with it. It handles well. It is a great size for driving in traffic and the visibility is good all around. Its not over-powered, but there are slower cars out there for the price. Too bad they stopped making this car --- I would buy another one.

  I love this car - 2000 Ford Contour
  By aking1 - January 14 - 11:53 pm

  I have driven many cars that were great, but none greater than this car. Even though this car is a 2000, and I have driven many recent cars, it is my favorite. It has a lot of interior room that I am able to play my guitar in it during lunch breaks. Besides my truck, this is my reliable vehicle.

  Our Ford Contour - 2000 Ford Contour
  By Cat Lover - May 14 - 2:00 am

  We have been very happy with our Contour. It has only needed normal upkeep and has had only one moderate problem caused by my daughter and her lack of experience in driving. It fits everyone in our family from my husband who is 62" to our daughter who is only 411".

  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.

  A Great Vehicle - 2000 Ford Contour
  By IInfinity - February 12 - 2:00 am

  I love my contour sport - it is fun, yet classy! It most certainly feels sporty, and hugs corners quite well, it also handles WNY winters with ease (which is saying something). Contrary to other reviews, the vehicle has more than enough passenger space. The lunch crew(3 tall, broad-shouldered men fit comfortably). I also use the vehicle for carting around Girl Scout supplies and helpers without trouble. If you really want a family car, buy a Taurus, which is also a wonderful vehicle and will give you even more passenger space if thats what youre looking for.

  The performance in this car is great - 2000 Ford Contour
  By Irfan Rahim - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 2000 Contour Se Sport on April 27, 2002. I traded in my 96 Old Cutlass Supreme for it. I have have the 2.5 24 valve Duratec V-6 (which is standard for that year). Im surprised that it has a lot of standard features including power, windows, lock, mirrors, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, 15 inch alloy wheels, and premium am/fm cd player. I like the way the car handles. It can go from 0-60 in about 8.5 seconds. It responds a hell of a lot better than my oldsmobile.
