1991 Ford Festiva LX? review from North America
"The BEST car I have had!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler, rust.
General comments?
Well this is a great little car. No wonder, it's really an import! I have had very little problems with my Festiva. It has never cost me more than $20 to fill the tank, and it goes forever. The body seems to be prone to rust, maybe that's because she never gets a bath! The car was not that popular though and parts are hard to find used, and very expensive if new. Overall the car has cost me no more than $100 a month (that includes the purchase price divided by the months and any service, oh, and the insurance). If you can find a Festiva in good shape, and your're looking for economy transportation, this one can't be beat!
