        Thats a Festiva from down under. Never seen one on an Aspire here though. Does look good. The top, wheels, lighting, angle, all working together in a good way in that photo!

          I have not had the pleasure of seeing one in real life, though one of our members from New Zealand has got one!
          Not only is it really good looking, it also had factory Central Locking, electric windows, centre cup holders AND smooth bumpers (no reflectors) with the front being slightly different in shape to the regular 94...
          Look at those beautiful smooth door trims!

              His top doesn't look like it's folded back quite correctly. The top shouldn't "bunch up" like it is there... It should fold back, almost like "planks" of wood on top of each other.

              Besides that... Pretty cool looking. The ragtop in the Festiva on US models seemed to be a premo dealer added option... I'm assuming it'd be the same on the Aspire.

                Here's some pics of the JDM 121 "Funtop":









                I just replaced this car (after 10 years of use) with a Kia Picanto:

                    Those are 14 inchers. They're the same wheels that came on 25th anniversary Protege GT (1993, Canada-only model), and supposedly only 500 of those 25th an. models were sold in '93. I want a set of those wheels so bad!!!
                    The left lane? Are you crazy!!! I never drive in the left lane...It's full of freaks driving the wrong way and charging right at you!!!

                      There's actually a little bit of Florida Ford Festiva DNA living on in the Mazda 121 up there - I replaced the front strut assemblies with some from a wreckers when one of the original front springs snapped.

                      To be honest, although it all fits perfectly, the damping feel isn't as solid as the originals.
