1993 Ford Festiva L review from North America
"The Festiva makes a good second car for a household"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My temperature sensor went at 125,000.
My exhaust was replaced at 126,000.
Both lower ball joints were replaced at 170,000 kilometres.
General comments?
Thus it's small, and doesn't have air-conditioning, it is very reliable and has had no major engine problems yet.
It drives great in the snow and uses a very low amount of gas.
With the exception of the driver's seat, the interior is in great shape.
