1996 Ford Contour GL 2.5L V6
Summary:
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Faults:
2 of 3 catalytic converters had to be replaced at ~100,000km's.
Hand brake seized, easily fixed.
Other than that, nothing and this car has been driven hard.
General Comments:
Excellent car. Stunning performance for a sedan in this category. The V6 fitted with a 5 speed manual transmission is the only way to go with this car.
Great car to own/drive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

First there is no such car as a Contour LS, second lugs fall off because they were not torqued properly. All cars require regular maintance, BMWs are just as expensive in that dept.
