Wheel bearings.
Rear hatch lock.
Engine self destructed (wore out).
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.
I am confused as to what you are talking about. I had my 1993 Festiva from 1995 until 2002. It was THE cheapest to maintain car I had ever owned, and I have have owned Mercedes, BMWs, Toyotas, and Hondas. I was constantly amazed at how inexpensive repair bills were for any type of repair.
I find it quite odd as well. Perhaps the poster lacks comparison shopping and/or bargain hunting acumen. However I will agree those highly coveted cardboard hatch covers are exorbitantly priced!
