1988 Ford Festiva L review from North America
"Economical and very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump had to be replaced at about 250,000 miles.
General comments?
This car was one of the best cars I have ever owned as it was cheap to operate and extremely reliable. I sold the car with over 300,000 miles on it and I sometimes see it on the road in the local community.
