It wasn't a bad looking car, and it came well optioned. Acceleration was less then amazing, but not bad when compared with the civics and things like that in the same price point. Only thing I do know is once you start getting into neat parts, they cost you an arm and a leg. Just because there isn't as many people out there modifying them as there are the Hondas and such.

They are a plow in the handling dept and just like <u>nearly</u> every Ford car in that vintage, Coil springs break quite regularily. I don't have an opinion on the looks. It doesn't do alot for me but it doesnt repulse me either.

Its the DOHC right? Not a good choice of an engine. Id stay away if i were you. Expensive as hell to get worked on. Cool car but not my first choice for pickin out a new ride. Maybe if i swap in the 3L. 🙂

I just checked a couple profiles and they seem like pretty nice cars with a fair amount of potential, performance wise and visually.

I used to have a contour sport with the v6. Nice car but was missing the 5 speed. the contour svt seems nice. I think they look good. there was a guy in minot with a boosted one. decently quick but not sure how much he spent on it total. I guess if it the car was a really good price I would rock one
