1988 Ford Festiva L review from North America
"A pretty good little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The emergency brake barley works, I've replaced the exhaust, the fuel pump and the passenger head light.
General comments?
This is the best car I've ever had (and the only one).It does really good in my yard, even after heavy rain! I don't treat the car very well, but it does great. I wish I could get a newer one with more options.
