No problems yet, so far just tune ups, new tires, and oil changes.
This car is very zippy, the tiny engine suits the car perfectly, since the car is so light. It can really get up and go. Always reliable, very cute, perfect car for anybody. I would recommend one to anyone based on the way my Festiva has proven itself. I swear by it. Viva Festiva!
The old owner of mine had no problems out of it. The only problem with it the fan moter quit it just sat for 5 years till I bought it for 100 bucks.
My car two was a good car I put a lot of stuff in it
but still keeps up. Good car for all the time car, but do not like to drive fast.
I just bought my third (3rd) Ford Festiva. They are so much fun to drive. My newest is a 1989 with 57,323 original miles on it. I'll buy them as long as I can find them! Lee W.
The Festiva seems to be one of the better products Daewoo built. I see them on the road here and there looking like they've been to hell and back... but hey, they're still running. I wonder if the Aveo will do the same?
I am that experiment as we speak.
Had a 1993 Festiva that was virtually bulletproof except for replacing the starter motor twice. Amazing car.
I now have an Aveo which is a superior car in every way from safety to driving (the Festiva wouldn't go over 65 mph, the Aveo will do 85 all day) to standard features and so on.
But, of course, the big question is quality. I've had mine for over a year and so far the Aveo shows good quality. If the Aveo is as reliable as the Festiva then it will be a worthy successor.
Hats off to all those who still drive Festivas. They are truly one of the best cars ever made!
