Bought this '02 Conti from private owner w/13K miles, w/every option available i.e. driver select, Alpine CD chgr, moonroof, etc. Looked for 2 yrs to find one w/low mileage, mint condition & color (ivory parchment) knowing it was being discontinued!! It's superior (ride, options & performance) to other makes at thousands more. Can't believe they're not building them anymore. Get with it Ford!!

After doing my research on the continentals i tracked one down in great condition with decent mileage. I read all the great reviews and had to find out for myself. I live in Michigan and everything here is beat to death and or rusted out and if it's not they want a million dollars for it. I then searched out of state and found what i was looking for in Pennsylvania from a private seller. I rolled the dice and rented a car, drove to it, drove it home. All the reviews were right! It rides better than my deville and runs so much better! I absolutely love this car and have already begun to fix the tiny imperfections that most would and could just leave alone because i want to keep it nice. The only thing and i do mean only, is that parts such ass headlights and outer pieces of the car are somewhat a pain to track down and obtain. Even with that said I'd roll those dice a 100 times over! Go get one! UPDATE : Had the transmission rebuilt (1200) and normal maintenance brakes, ball joints, shocks, plugs and wires etc. Never leaks a drop of oil or acts funny at all. I still love driving it. I still blow the kids at work away when they try to race me on their way home. They still come in in the morning laughing and shocked! If parts you need weren't so hard to find I'd probably only drive these cars for the rest of my days

Very good but not great

A BIG car ride and drive. A truly excellent dollar value, lots of toys, driver select system is quite good. Driver information center is very easy to operate and love the compass. Gas mileage for the 275 HP Intech is quite good. And...the Continental is smooth and powerful on take off. Front-wheel drive leads to slight oversteer. Thus you don't have the feel of a great American luxo-cruiser. Good....not great. Much, much better value than Audi A6, Acura any model, Volvo, Jaguar, Lexus or any of the other mid luxury cars. THE VERY BEST CLIMATE CONTROL AND AC of any vehicle I have experienced.

Continetal Divide

I Test drove every make and model for the last 4 months and nothing compares to the Continetal. Acura, Lexus, BMW, Audi, Volvo etc are all the same. Same interior, Same box exterior, might as well build a generic sedan just change the nameplate. The Continetal is different. It has room, luxury, driviablity, sportablity and an American style of its own. Its a shame some maketing genius doesn't capitalize on the uniqueness of the Continetal.
