  • 3 cylinder festy?

    ok so anytime someone new sees my car, they ask if it is a festiva, and then ask if it is a 3 cylinder.

    so my question to you is: did a festiva ever come with a 3 cylinder?

    No, OEM festivas never came with a 3 cylinder engine.

    They get confused with the original metro that had a 3 cylinder engine!

        thats always what i thought, some people knew it was a festy and then still asked if it was 3 cyl.
        they were confusing me.

          I guess a lot of people (including the announcer at our local race track) think Festivas are 3 cylinder cars. Check the video. When he says he talked to us in the pits, thats "BS", never happened. http://users.isp.com/john48/3cylinder.mpg

              Most people confuse Festivas with (forgive me for mentioning these) GEO Metros which were available with 3 cylinders.

                  I test drove a 1955 Chevy pickup once with a V7. I don't regret not spending $500 on it.
