what sucks about it? enlighten me.

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.

There's one that parks at my work parking lot occasionally and it actually looks pretty sharp.

They have decent acceleration out of the box but that's it. 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.

i think they look gay! there were like 2 on cardomain that looked ok but not my cup of tea i guess.

I hate contours...pretty much a junky mini-taurus.. My ex had a sport one and there was always something going wrong with that damn thing...

buy an MR2

[btleier]

I bought and sold one this last summer. 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.

It doesnt look that bad...almost like a SHO taurus...Maybe if it was modded ok....I wouldnt want one though....Maybe some other ford....

F - First
O - On
R - Race
D - Day

or if you hate ford....

F - Fucked
O - Over
R - Rebuilt
D - Dodge

The SVT Contouer would make a nice daily driver.

A co-worker of mine has a Mercury Mystique (with the same motor) and blew out his spider gears on the first launch of his car on track day.
