Used 2000 Ford Contour Consumer Reviews
sleeper
The SE Sport is a true sleeper car. It's my second Contour and so far has been as reliable as my first one. Great accelleration and the exhaust sounds good as well. It's comfortable and handles extremely well. The best thing-it's invisible to police.
Great Car!!!
I recently bought a used 2000 Ford Contour SE Sport. V6 2.4 liter Duratec engine. Very nice ride so far...have had NO problems. Rides like a dream.
Chose some thing else
I bought this car new, it lasted 11 years. Fuel pump failed in weeks2. Second month, a small piece of debris smack the oil pan cracking the oil pan. (both common problems reported for this car at the time in user forums) year 1, the dash board pilled up in the summer heat. (another common issue) Year 6, the electric motors for the sun roof, left front door, right front door died and had to be replaced. Year 8, the padding in the seats became stiff. Dash board pilled again. year 11, 51,000 miles engine died 3,500 dollars repair.
Buy a Honda
Save a few more dollars and buy a Honda, or Toyota instead. This is one cheaply built and unrealiable car.
Contour...Great looks!& cool name!
My experience with the 2000 Ford Contour was great. I thoght it was the best compact car Ford ever made.Great for short people and even tall. I like the performance & reliabilty of the car. This car is great for around towm and when you are late for work. It could be nice quit and sweet around the city bout when you have to go the contour will kick butt!
