I have had the car for about 3 month now; in those 3 months, I had to fix: window motor ($100), wheel bearing ($60), shifter cable (tree, changed by the dealership), and get a new transmission ($1800), I'ts a VERY fun car to drive, but a lot get broken all the time.
Love that Contour

Always dependable, I drive @100 miles a day and its comfortable & gas efficient. I can sit in the back seat with leg room even with front seat pushed back. And my tall husband (6'5") can fit in it too!.

The CSVT is a sedan that rivals the BMW 3 series. Maybe not in build quality or status, but in performance, handling, and fun to drive. I never feel squirrely or unstable at highway speeds and because of the stopping ability I haven't needed a body shop yet. The torque is incredible and doesn't even compare to a Honda Accord or Civic. Overall this is a fun car to drive and a great deal when compared to imports.
Ford did well, but not well enough

The original OEM tires are definately a problem in areas where snow falls. The Bridgstone KDW's are not rated for snow. Recommend getting all season tires. Handling and performance were good, but the interior quality left much to be desired. Back seats are incompatible with several infant car seats that we have (ie Evenflo; Century; Brix). A good car for one who needs four doors, some power and no kids.
Very Good and fun to drive

The SVT Contour's shock valving was designed to work in conjunction with the bigger tires, with better handling numbers being claimed on both the slalom and skidpad. We know that SVT deemed the changes important enough to make. I think it is a veri good car.
