"I bought my Festiva used from a dealership in Memphis. I put 60,000 miles on it in just a few short years. I blew up the motor after years of neglect and abuse, but got a new one--installed--for just $400! The thing handled like a go-kart and fit my 6'-2" body with room to spare. It jumped like a rental and would do e-brake slides like a drift car. The power-to-weight ratio was unbelievable and it could even beat some "sports" cars off the line at a stoplight. I drove it over 1000 miles on several occasions with minimal fatigue and maximum comfort, and approached a 39 MPG average, (I had the automatic version). The AC worked well enough for Memphis and the heat worked well enough for the UP of Michigan. It actually had decent ground clearance and because of it's lightweight and front-drive layout, it had decent off-road prowess. I actually drove it across a beaver dam once! My Festiva was my second-favorite car of all time, after my Jeep Wrangler."

"I bought this great car in Jan 1990, it lasted for ten great years and over 200K miles including a two day trip to GA from CA some 2200 miles. I delivered pizza for those ten years in her. Sometimes I wonder why I gave her up, maybe because she only holds four people and my family is now seven!!"
