1993 Ford Festiva

Pros: great gas mileage, more cargo space than you would expect

Cons: too small for a large family

Review: A hundred miles and the gas gauge barely moved! That's great, but I what was really unbelievable was how much stuff you could put into one these tiny little cars!

This tiny little hatchback appears to be very small, but when you compare...

Pros: reliable

Cons: clown car

The Bottom Line: Yeah baby

Review: First off, let me make it very clear that I know very little about cars. If it weren't for the backseat and the cosmetic mirror, I wouldn't know Jack!

I spent many of an hour in the back seat of a variety of cars. Let me tell you, when you...

Pros: gas mileage, value for money

Cons: no passing power, attracts a lot of attention and stares :)

The Bottom Line: Great economy car!

Review: I just bought a 1993 Ford Festiva GL and even though I've only had it a few days I absolutely love it. The first time I sat in it and heard the door close with a heavy "clunk" sound like the old beetles I was hooked. It is not for everyone but if you are ...

Pros: Durability, savings of fuel, maintenance, tires, etc.

Cons: Ride is not up to par, but you're not looking at luxury here, just economy.

Review: We now own our third Ford Festiva. Well actually the first one was a Fiesta (the forerunner of the Festiva) it still has the same features actually. I am a happy camper here!

The durability is tops! The gas mileage is tops! We have traveled...

Pros: Speedy, Great Gas Milege!

Cons: Very Small, Cheap Construction

The Bottom Line: All in out, the Festiva is a good small car for one. So I give it Five out of Five stars. Go for it!

Review: THIS CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED!!! Can you believe that our little Festiva has been the target of a hit and run!! I will have the wreckage pictures availible on my car domain at: http://members.cardomain.com/psymo . It will be on page two or so.

We...

Pros: incredible gas mileage and endurance

Cons: mufflers go bad quickly, doesn't really give a smooth ride

Review: I have to be honest. When I drove my Festiva off the new car lot in 1993, I did not plan to still be driving it seven years later. My family expected the car to "die" at 60,000 miles or so, but I planned to have the money to buy a better car by...

Pros: MPG, Reliable, Price

Cons: No longer made

Review: It's a crying shame that '93 was the last year for these cars. I've got 80,000 miles on mine and the only work I've had to do is 2 sets of new tires, 3 new brake jobs, and 1 new muffler. It runs smoothly, still gets about 40 miles to the gallon on the...

Pros: amazing gas mileage, roomier than meets the eye, cheap tires, did I mention gas mileage?

Cons: kind of scary to be so small, you look funny driving it, sideways engine

Review: I've been driving my Festiva for nine years now, and it's still rolling along. I actually learned to drive a stick shift in this car, and even that didn't kill it! You can't beat the gas mileage even with pump prices soaring. Yeah, it's way ...

Pros: Very Economical and practical car

Cons: Could be a little bigger for safety

Review: I own a 1993 Festiva GL, but it isn't my first Festiva, before I drove A 1990 Festiva L. I know this car very well, I have spend my last 7 years with it, and I am very impressed. I bought my first one in 1994 because I needed something to drive to...

Pros: great gas mileage,cheap

Cons: craftsmanship, appearance

The Bottom Line: Above average value in its class- recommend only if you are in the market for an inexpensive economy used car

Review: I bought my Festiva new in 1993- because it was what I could afford at the time. If you are in the market for a very inexpensive economical used car- the Festiva is probably the best in its class. You will not get performance- but very few of the older...
