This car was a rebuilt from a flood. I have only had to put on a new exhaust and had a problem with the taillights. The taillights died right after I got the car. I was able to fix it in about 5 minutes with a toggle switch instead of ripping out the headlight switch and everything else.
This car is definitely a must for anyone that travels as much as I do. I travel about 47,000 miles a year between my two vehicles. This car gets me at least 45 and usually 55 miles per gallon.
Surprisingly peppy for such a small motor and will actually top out at impressive speeds for the motor.
I am 6 feet 4 inches tall, and this car has more leg room and head room than most other vehicles that I have driven.
Very plain car without any extras, but definately one of the most reliable and cheap-running vehicles that I have ever come into contact with. I wish they still made these. I will have this car as long as possible. No chance of selling it unless it is for another one!
I am 100% in agreement with this whole survey.In the last 12 years I have gone through 10 different vehicles and the only one I regret losing is my Festiva.However 3 days ago I purchased a Kia Rio RX. At that time I was unaware that the Festiva was a Kia. The similarities were the reason for my looking up this web site. The new car is a lot fancier, but I hope it will be just as good.
