The biggest complaint I have about this next car is the name. Say it out loud:
I drive a Contour. An SVT Contour. Yuck.
Contour. Blech.
SVT Contour sounds like something you'd lookup in a medical encyclopedia and recoil in horror at the associated illustration. Ford should have kept the global name and called it the Mondeo...but at least we were able to get one in the USA with a 5-speed manual gearbox and some tuning from Ford's Special Vehicle Team. Find this
1999 Ford Contour SVT offered for $3950 in Altadena, CA via craigslist.
