1993 Ford Festiva review from North America
"Very reliable, miserly on gas (55mpg), but parts are far too expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings.
Rear hatch lock.
Engine self destructed (wore out).
General comments?
Very high gas mileage (55mpg).
Quite reliable.
Very expensive parts - twice any other import, ie. cardboard cover for the rear hatch = $600.00, cylinder lock for the rear hatch = $125.00 and headlamp = $400.00.
