2000 Ford Contour sport V6 from North America
Summary:
Not good
Faults:
My fuel pump went the first week I purchased the car and it had to be replaced twice since then.
Platinum plugs on the gasket have to be replaced every two years.
Sensors were replaced in 2004, I just replaced them again (2006)
The door came without manual locks, so I have to use the car remote to lock and unlock doors. Of course I didn't find this out until 2005 when my remote broke and I noticed the locks weren't turning. The dealership didn't help, saying I'm the one that could have taken the locks out of the car doors.
General Comments:
The contour sport is a fast car, but it's a gas guzzler.
I wish I purchased a Toyota or Honda.
Ford's sales people aren't very nice.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

As a former contour owner I can say that buying a FORD was the biggest mistake I ever made. I hope your car lasts more than 100K miles without serious problems (or last to 100K in general)
