1993 Ford Festiva L review from North America
"Get more bang for your buck (in the small car world)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new clutch, but that's standard maintenance because the old one just wore out.
Seems very prone to problems with the ignition and spark plugs wires and the rotor.
General comments?
This is a great litte car, I love it so much! It's so inexpensive to own and run, and the performance and acceleration of it outmatches anything in its class.
The engine is simply amazing. It just keeps going and going and going... I drive 52 miles per day, and this car keeps up great. Simply amazing.
