1990 Ford Festiva review from North America
"I don't know how I will ever find a car to replace this one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced timing belt in 2004.
Replaced master cylinder in 2007.
Replaced clutch in late 2007.
Seats are falling apart.
Hatch broke a couple years ago and wouldn't open.
General comments?
I absolutely love this car.
It gets fantastic gas mileage, upwards of 40 mpg in-town.
The size is more of a benefit for me than anything - it is small enough to park nearly anywhere but large enough to fit a ton of stuff.
It's reliable and easy to maintain.
Parts are cheap so I've never had a single repair that cost more than $200.
