General comments?
Best car I've ever owned so far!
I've put 120000 miles on this car, drive it hard (usually 75mph) and it always goes and goes and goes. never got stuck. I still drive it occasionally. its now my mess around car since I just purchased another gem of a car. but this festiva will always be my favorite! high driving position, comfortable front seats, and lots of room surprisingly! it has a mazda engine and mazda transmission. this car was not made by ford, rather it was madeby KIA. this is KIAS best and only good product. this car was designed by mazda of japan and it shows! excellent car. I'm so upset they stop making them in the USA. this is probably the only ford product I would, but. great car! never breaks down. most reliable!
