1989 Ford Festiva L review from North America
"A great little car for anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight Lens and grille had to be replaced because of an accident with a deer.
Clutch needed to be replaced at 159,547.
General comments?
The car was always there when we needed it, even in the dead of winter.
The seats are pretty comfortable even after 15 years of use.
Electrics on it are really simple and easy to work on.
