This has been a great car. Has more then paid for itself over the years. I got this car just as a joke but now the joke is on me.

This thing won't die. It's ugly as
hell, but it runs great still with
basically no maintainence. In the past
6 years I've only put a clutch in it
aside from tires and such.
The rear wiper went out a couple years
after I got it, but I don't miss it
much. The paint is also starting to
oxidize.
I'm finally giving up on killing it
and just getting a new car. Need a
little more get up and go, although it
is pretty zippy for 63hp.

now the festiva was made by kia, and i
dont know if the new kias are as good
as this car but it rocks.
This is my second festiva, I was in the
michigan Rally league and raced a
festiva, that car took more than any
car ever should, and still runs !!! Now
i have my second one, and it is just
great, even if something goes wrong its
so easy to work on, I LOVE FESTIVAS !!!!

I bought this car used in 1994. It now
has 240,000 miles on it. Other than
normal maintenance, I have had to
replace the radiator fan assembly.

I bought my festiva from an old korean
lady for 1000 dollors it had
everything AC,AM/FM,auto,new paint and
low miles about 40K on it now it has
100K and a now sun roof on it. It is
the most reliable car we have, only
problems were the vacuum modual and
the brakes would wear quickly.But very
cheap to maintain.

I have had my 90 for festiva for a
couple of years now and not once had a
problem with it. It is comfortable to
drive and comfortable to be a passenger
in. Though it may not be the biggest
looking car it has the most roomy
interior. It also gets great fuel
economy It gets an average of 50 mpg.
Most 17 year olds want sporty cars i
wouldn't trade my festiva for anything
in the world. It is the best car ever
made.

Mine was actually a 1988 LX five speed
with a/c. I bought it used in april
1997. I bought it with 192000miles on
it. It never gave any trouble and I
drove it to 234000 miles. It had the
original engine, clutch, etc and was a
great car. The car never used oil
between 4000 mile intervals! The coil
went bad at 234000 miles. The mechanic
I took it to put water in the engine
and cracked the piston. Jerk, he
ruined the best car I ever had!
