Both are a design nightmare. I don't know where you got the idea that parts are going to be cheap. Price some parts for the Probe and you will quickly change your mind. I would have to go with the Contour, reluctantly. I have driven the SVT Contour and it was a quick little devil, and the Duratec V6 has a good track record, just be wary of electrical problems, the Contour had plenty.

I would definitely go with the contour svt. Probes are ok. Nothing is cheap on the svt. the svt had some issues one being the oil pickup when cornering. I owned 3 taurus SHO's and was in the game heavily.If you buy the contour you will spend $ when something breaks and most shops wont touch sho's/ svt's. The contour is a descent car though overall you would probably enjoy it more, at least in the room for people and stuff department and I think it looks classier.If youre handy with a wrench you will save alot of headaches.

yeah they are good to drive but when they break down, some shops are scared to work on them because both are "foreign" to shade tree and small independants.
Basically both are based upon cars Ford had some problems with ... Contours with the electrical and Probes with people willing to work on them.....
But they are both great cars to drive, But I like the later model contour SVTs if they have a manual as they rock and can fit four tight but more comfotable than thay Probe (at least for a big man like me)
