Is a 1993 Ford Festiva a good car?

Question

I am looking into buying a Ford Festiva? Is it a good car?

Answer 1

The festiva is an amazingly durable, efficient car. I've seen dozens with 300,000 miles and over 10 with 500,000 miles. Many on the original engine and transmission. Here is one turning over 500,000 miles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz_Yto_-PMs

fordfestiva.com has the answers to all questions festiva.

And while kaykay is close all festivas were designed by mazda but all festivas were assembled by kia using almost all mazda components. They were sold in the U.S. from 88-93. 88-89 festivas are carbed models except the 89 auto which has a one year only fuel injection system. All 90-93 festivas are fuel injected. the 5 speed models can achieve over 50 mpg when driven conservatively.

Answer 2

As the person said above me, it could be a Mazda. However, it could also be a Kia Pride. If it is a Kia, check to see if it is in good shape. Before Kia was bought by Hyundai, Kia made cars with poor reliability, so be cautious. My mom had a Festiva before I was born, and she said it was pretty good, mostly because of the awesome gas mileage even for then. Again, be cautious.

Answer 3

there's no wheel so which you will't do it. on an identical time as the drum is located decrease back on and the brakes are pressed, on an identical time as the brakes open up too a lot the adjuster adjusts itself. set up the shoes, located the drums on, then press the brakes slowly approximately 5 circumstances and it is going to alter itself.

Answer 4

yes they are its a mazda 121 under the skin, if it hasnt been serviced or high kms be suspect as high kays indicate will need another motor (cheaper than rebuild)
