1991 Ford Festiva GL review from North America
"I would love to own another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Went though 4 alternators.
The water pump seal went, and the car lost all its coolant once. But the car also had 288,000 miles on it by then.
The jump wires had rotted away for the charging system, and caused the car to stop running once.
General comments?
The car was roomy for such a small car.
The car was faster than most people would expect it to be.
Took all of the abuse, and just kept going.
