1988 Ford Festiva L Plus review from North America
"I loved my Festiva and wish I still had it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major went wrong with the car. It had an oil leak which I never identified but other than that it performed well for 11 years.
General comments?
I've wished 100 times over I had kept this car as a commuter car. Even with the oil leak it got over 35 MPG around town. I could have probably put $500 or less in getting it fixed and it would probably still be running today. Other than normal wear and tear, this car performed excellently from start to finish.
