1989 Ford Fiesta review from Lithuania
"Economical everyday car, but don't use it off-road :)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much - just after buying I changed the rear suspension, air filter, oil filter.
The main minus is that the car is too cold for lets say -20 C, but it still runs well.
Some problems with carburetor now, but a half an hour at the auto-service should do it.
General comments?
Car is really cheap, so it's a good car for a student, especially going on trips in summer :)
6 l/100 km, top speed reached 145km/h. For a 1.1 I think that's really enough.
Of course the comfort is minimal, but hey - if you buy a car for you, rebuild it as you like :)
