Brake Master Cylinder had to be replaced.

This is my second Festiva, and I really wish I hadn't given away the first one. I live in Hawaii, and with gas over $2 a gallon, this thing is a mileage champ! I get 38-40 mpg in combined city/highway driving. I know my Festy will always start and run.
The other one had AC, sure would be nice if this one did. Alas.
Ford wasn't smart to begin with. They wouldn't know a good car if it hit them.
Oh yeh, KIA is much better than Ford, check out how many negative reviews KIA owners give on this site, moron.
