3. Ford Contour SVT
Yes, believe it or not there was a performance version of the Ford Contour. The SVT offered all of the performance that you’d expect out of a company sedan. The supercharged engine did the job well, and the car was lightweight enough to perform. The problem with the Contour was reliability. These cars would routinely have issues with the valves and the transmission. After you’ve spent the money repairing either of these problems, you’ll end up owing more than the car is worth.
Although the Contour SVT is a rarity on the road today, it’s not bulletproof. Unless you have a good deal of money to spend on it, you’ll be stuck with a car that you can’t use.
