1991 Ford Festiva L review from North America
"Money well spent on a very reliable ride!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car on 12/10/2002 for $300.
It needed a headlight and marker light to pass inspection. Kinda expensive at over $100 just for used headlight. Got both of then from a you remove junkyard for $38.00. Not bad, $348 in car. Then the battery went out, another $52.00 for that. Went to fill the tank, $8.60 for a fill up! WOW, can't wait to see how long that lasts.
General comments?
So far with a bit over 200 miles I have put on it I have had no problems. The heat didn't work for a bit, but does now. Just started up after a week of driving and freezing in it. Its kinda slow and tires roar between 50 and 60 mph. Over 60 and they kinda catch up and quiet down. It zips along easily at 70 mph. I don't like being seen in it, but cheaper then anything else I could buy. I love having a title in my hands and not a payment book. FIgure I will drive it till it falls apart or till I find my toyota 4x4 SR5 truck. :)
