1991 Ford Festiva review from North America
"Top honors"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A lot of little interior things were messed up with it. I don't think it was taken care of that well by the owners before me. Radio was junk, cloth was junk. The ceiling was still up! I had to change the alternator twice. Then found out it was just a wiring problem on my part. Heater was not very good AT ALL! Air conditioning was the same. I had to replace the things by the tire that make the tranny work? All I know is when it went out the car wouldn't go. NEVER ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS.
General comments?
The most awsome car I have had. I paid 2000 for it. Everyone said I got ripped off. I proved then wrong. Tons of room for as small as it is. Gas mileage is well AAWWSSOOMMEE. And I would say it was the most reliable car out there. Aside from maybe Toyotas and Hondas. But the thing wasnt American I don't car if ford slapped a sticker on it. You can't buy that kind of quality in the states anymore. GREAT first car, great cheap car.
