1990 Ford Festiva L review from North America

"Who needs a Honda?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had to replace the transmission seal.

The rack and pinion needs replaced soon.

There is two panals that need replaced on the outside.

General comments?

The performance is great for how small the engine is. But not everything on it is stock, including the exhaust and intake. But you have to get the manual if you want it to keep up with the other compacts out there. I have been able to stay next to mustang six cylinder up to the point I topped out at ninety five miles a hour. Also the thing I love is how easy it is to modify and swap larger engines into it.

I do wish the inside was offered in a different color than gray or tan. I am changing mine to black and blue. Also I wish the seats had more lumbar support like the Honda seats.

The outside could be more sportier like the ones offered in japan. With they had leather seats, sunroofs and a larger engine. The styling of the bumpers were better because they had integrated fog lights.
