Ford stoped building the contour. You'll laugh when you hear what they turned it in to...........The Ford Escape!!!!! they turned a car in to an SUV. its the same chassis and drivetrain. their reasoning is that they stand to make more $$$ selling an SUV rather then a decent car. (The contour actually made a decent British Touring car called the Mondeo)

A guy around my town has a modded Contour SVT. He has alot of engine work done to it and it is very fast.

i relize they dont make them anymore. i think the last year they made them was 2000. i would just like to know if the car is worth buying. i know superchargers are available for them. what would you guys do if u had a choice?

I used to work for Ford...back in 97 when the SVT Contour was released.....For speed and cornering....the Contour is a great car. For reliability and quality of build the car is junk. This is why they discontinued the contour.

its a sleeper if u take off the SVT badges, i'd rather get an integra type R even though they are more $$$

I've heard good things about the SVT Contour.

i havent driven the svt contour...altho i must admit i used to want one.
what ended that was when i drove the regular contour. that car feels so plastic and sluggish its not even funny.
im sure the svt is a little better, and maybe better handling etc. but they most likely didnt change the interior much, so the car is still really plasticky and uncomfortable. i wouldnt recomend it.

from what i've read about it the interior is leather, but the back seat is somewhat small. the power ratings seem good to me. thanks guys for the info and keep it coming if u got any.

They now have turbos, 3 liter swaps, and the combination of both.....

The backseat is very small and cramped....The rear doors do not open fully either, its wierd. If your a little heavy and you try to get in the back seat, you are going to find that you may have a hard time getting into the car. The cars interior is all plastic and very cheaply made. Although the car is European it is still made by Ford, and that isnt a good thing. Someone said the seats are leather, that is part true....The car has leather seating...this means that only where your butt and your back are, are leather. The rest of the seat is Pleather.....Basically Vinyl. If I had the choice of getting the SVT contour and any other car in its class, I would get the other car....
