The 'wip'
4.13 out of 5 starsJoseph, 07/08/2009
1991 Ford Festiva GL 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car for my then 16 y/o daughter as a 'disposable' vehicle with the intention of replacing it within 6 months or when she totaled it... Well, 8 years later and the car is still going strong. It has has several repairs due to use and abuse but it has performed flawlessly overall. Now, it is the pride and joy of my youngest son who keeps it in tip top running condition. He is … always looking for ways to better it without altering the original package.
low maintenance and reliable

1991 Ford Festiva L 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car when it had 25,000 miles on it. 11 years later, it has 227,000 miles on it and is still going strong. It has only let me down once in 11 years and the cause was just a cracked distributor cap! It has been the best car I've owned. Can it make it to 300,000 miles? To be continued ...

1991 Ford Festiva L 2dr Hatchback
I've found this car trustworthy and free from unexpected maintenance. Not recomended for heavy highway driving as wind has effect on car. After 125,000 miles motor is very sound and doesn't burn oil. The interior is roomy and can hold 4 adults with leg room and headroom, or three bales of hay and two adults. I've enjoyed the smallness of the car as parking and turning around is very … simple and quick, especially in downtown areas.
Best damn car i ever had!!!

1991 Ford Festiva GL 2dr Hatchback
I had this car for 17 years before having to make the sad decision to let her go at 225k miles when she had electrical issues that were going to be to pricey to fix.
In its early days I experienced gas mileage in excess of 50 mpg hwy and nearly 60 mpg
on long road trips at approx. 70 mph.
Even when it got older she still got over 40mpg highway but I chose to no longer take her on long … road trips for fear she wouldnt make it.
This was also the best car I have ever driven in the snow.
I never got stuck once.
Wish I could find another one.
I'd take it in a heartbeat.
