CON I OUR
Ride and Drive Day
Ian Montgomery -Owner »
"The Contour Ride and Drive Day gave all employees at fylontgomer.y's in
Lucknow the opportunity to test drive 'the new 1995 Contour and a
comparable competitor's vehicle The Contour is a new mid-size car
developed specifically for North America The Contour is a new entry in the
expanding "C/D Plus" segment, positioning midway between Escort and
Taurus,, where discerning buyers expect more refined, technically advanced
vehicles
The idea of .the day was' to promote the now product and give our
employees the opportunity to obtain first-hand knowledge about the
Contour.
"One of the.important safety, features of the new Contour is the new 'anti •
-
submarine' seats which help prevent occupants from sliding forward under,;
seat belts in a frontal crash. Extensive crash testing has taught us that
occupants who are able to remain in their proper seating positions during a
collision stand a greater chance of avoiding serious injury. Another
standard feature of the Contour is du remote -control power heated
outside mirrors.

"The new Contour has the dual air bags which are a nice safety feature for
froht end, collision. I found the inside very comfortable; everything was easily,
accessible to the driver. The shoulder seat belts are adjustable for height,
making it possible to put it where it is comfortable at the side so that it's not
as bad as others that aren't adjustable. I was surprised -at how'much 'pick'up
and go' the vehicle had.for a small car. There's very little wind noise, if any,
and a smooth ride." •-•

"As far as ride and handling, the Contour was superior to the competitor's. The
car performs very well in tight cornering; acceleration is extremely positive. I'm -
tall and I found quite a bit of leg room. You can see very well.l noticed with
the competitor's a little more' wind noise going down the road. The Contour is
very aerodynamic and has very little wind noise." ' ,
Peter Smit -Body Shop Manager
"This car is very quiet to drive, very peppy, cornering abilities are great.
There was a lot less engine noise than the competitor's car. It's a
comfortable car; breaking was a lot better with the anti-lock' brakes: Lots of
room for luggage in the trunk. The dash layout -was a lotnicer and more
visible• than the competitor's car we compared the Contour to. The sound
system is very good., The dual air bags are an advantage as opposed to a
single air bag.".
