Might be a good car or investment
I might enjoy the Ford Festiva more if it was not so had to find parts for it. I have called all over and looked online and don't see anything for the car. if anyone knows a place that has them please let me know. I am half tempted to just junk it because I am getting tired of looking.

Very reliable, great gas mileage, brakes are no problem and suspension is just fine. After 20 yrs the wheel bearings go bad which can create a slight shake but if the bearings are replaced "properly" they will last years more. It is a base Mazda 121 and is very reliable if maintained properly as many cars will. Most problems can be directly related to improper care or sham mechanics. The car has an excellent suspension and is very cheap to repair. unless you take it to a disreputable mechanic. Motors generally last a couple hundred thousand miles.
Festiva L 1992
My Festiva has always been an excellent car to own. The 1.3L motor could use more punch, but has a BIG deal when fuel mileage is mentioned. 35 city 49 highway. Reliability of the Kia-made Festiva was great. No cons to be said.
