1990 Ford Festiva L+ review from North America
"A good car treated badly by it's previous owner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car, there was a bad connection with the alternator, and it wasn't charging the battery.
The Muffler needed to be replaced.
After having it for about a month, the water pump broke, and had to be replaced.
Mine is a very hard car to drive on the highway.
There is a leak in the transmission fluid.
A few days ago the engine died, and I don't know why. Now it won't start.
General comments?
The seats are very comfortable, and there is a lot of head room.
The car has a lot of room to transport cargo if you fold down the backseat.
The car gets great gas mileage.
I would buy another one as a second car if it were in good condition, but it doesn't have quite enough room for cargo transportation that I need.
