  • New member, first Festiva

    I just picked up a 92 Festiva GL, all red, with a little spoiler, sunroof, white factory wheels, and a sweet automatic....J/K bout the tranny. I bought it for my girlfriends daughter, who is 16. The car is surprisinly peppy, and clean, the P.O. did reg maintainence, and it shows. I have always been a GM guy, always swearing I would NEVER EVER own a Ford. While I still don't like fords, this has to be one of the funnest little things I have driven in a while. I hear they are close to bullit proof, thats why I got it in the first place. I am going to show the girl how take care of the car, with regular maintainence and such. Anywho, Just wanted to say hi, and I wanted to let everyone know in advance, thanks for any help I will get from this forum, I don't know what I would do without places like these.

      Well, you can still hate Ford...Festys are a Mazda! Second, I'll help you recover some of your initial investment into the Festiva community by offering you $20 and I'll pay the shipping on that lil' spoiler you have there! Thirdly, let me be the first Supermodel to say....WELCOME!!!!!

      Half Moon Bay is awesome, btw!!!!!

        You'll find out she has quite the rare car, for one it being a GL, probably a clean one at that. Not to mention the alloys, sunroof, and spoiler. I hope she takes car of it

              Hi Dave,

              Welcome to the forum. You'll find lot's of useful information and resources here along with great people... we even have our own supermodel .

              I'm somewhat partial to red 92 GL Sport models myself although I prefer the 5-speed. As you've already found out these are great little cars to drive, not to mention the great gas mileage.

              Cheers

                      This is the little Festiva, I am working on the cooling system right now, thats one of the first things I look at when I buy a used car. Just flushing the system, and i believe it should take standard antifreeze, the green stuff eh?
