1990 Ford Festiva L Plus review from North America
"Best Car I have every own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong with this car since I have own it. I put a timing belt on every 75000 miles just for pre-caution. I changed the spark plug at 181000 miles because it would not run right on rainy days, it ran find other days. The rear wheel bearings and the Front CV axles, and the water pump at 262000 miles. The car still is mostly original from factory even down to the a/c and alternator belts. I have done very little to this car in 300000 miles and it still gets about 40 mpg.
General comments?
This car handles and drives good.
