        The Fiesta was a great car, but finding parts would be impossible. All of them that were in junkyards have been crushed by now. A dealership or a parts store wouldn't even bother checking their computer before telling you nothing's available.

          Will the 1989 to 1995 Ford Fiesta in the UK parts fit the 1989 to 1993 Ford Festiva USA. I just purchased a Haynes service/repair manual for the Ford Fiesta and the cars look the same...are they?
          If the parts find, where in the UK can I get spare parts?

            They are totally different cars. Festivas are from Mazda (Japan) and Fiestas are from Ford in Europe. Nothing in common.

              The new Motor Trend said the Fiest will get 40 mpg highway....who knows! The new Fits get around 35 mpg from those I have asked.

                      Is this the same Fiesta that is often seen in NC State University student parking?

                      Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

                          I have seen a couple VERY nice Fiestas on Ebay recently, and they brought BANK.. over 3 for one, and over 4 for the other..

                          but to be fair, one had about 10K worth of racing mods on it, and was still streetable... awesome..


                          as a matter of fact, there is an awesome Fiesta race car on right now:
