 Although this is a small, economical 
car, I find it to be more than I 
bargained for.  It handles well, taking 
corners well.  It is extremely 
dependable.  With 120,000 miles, I have 
never had a minutes trouble, even on 
cold mornings.  Never had to replace 
any shocks.  I have been extremely 
satisfied with my Contour.  I only wish 
I could buy a 2003 model.
