I bought my Festiva new (26 miles) in
1993 as a car to run around town and to
go back and forth to work. It has never
failed me not even once. I have replaced
the tires 3 times,the right rear wheel
bearing once, and replaced the battery
and that is it.It has an oil leak around
the head gasket but there is no shame in
that with 126k.I put a new muffler on
too. It has got me … through blizzards and
over deer and it looks as good as it did
when it was new. I change oil every
3k,wash it every week,wax it ever 3
months. I hate to get rid of her but I
need a 4x4 pick-up now. It is the best
car I have ever owned.I plan on selling
it to my friend that I car pool to work
with.
