The muffler had to be replaced after I purchased the car.
This is my third Festiva. I really enjoy driving these little cars. I was in an accident with my last one, they actually have a 5 star front impact rating! Good thing I wasn't driving a Chevy Sprint! The car still ran perfectly, and I was able to drive it home. I have always found the festiva to be very reliable.
I am 6'2" and I am very comfortable in my Festie. I think they are reliable because they were designed by Mazda. One thing I do not like is the rude, unhelpful people at the local Ford dealerships. Whenever possible, I buy parts at the local Mazda dealer. They are far more helpful.
Actually, you will find this most amusing.. The Ford Festiva is actually built by Kia, which at the time was owned by Mazda who is owned by Ford. Long story, but it is quite true.
Designed by mazda. made by KIA, sold by Mazda, KIA, Ford.
