Good Points
Gas mileage, price, safety.
Bad Points
Its kind of ugly, and the 2.0 is quite dodgy.
General Comments
My '96 Ford Contour just turned 99,500 miles and I have had no major problems. New brakes, new water pump, and new mass airflow sensor. Not bad for an American sedan with that many miles.
Gas mileage is great! 32 or better on the highway (with the 4cyl 2.0)!
