1989 Ford Festiva LX review from North America
"A nice surprise of an automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mostly just basic car repair. Tires have been changed, along with oil and brakes. Ball bearings have been replaced. This is due to the car sitting in a field unused for 10 years.
General comments?
I feel my Festiva is incredibly reliable. It has never broken down on me. The car handles amazing for its cost and age. There is basically nothing wrong with the car. I still can't believe how well it runs. I love my Festiva, and will cry when I must replace it.
