    New Guy

    Hi,
    I have been "stalking" this site for over a year. I am the proud owner of a 1989 Festiva lx. She is an automatic with air and 171,000 miles as of this morning. I drive her 100 miles daily and love it! I bought her kind of as a joke to my wife. (My daily driver had been a 2005 Dodge Durango.) Now, I love this car! Good gas mileage, comfortable driving, and I love the overall cheap maintenance. So far, I have replaced exhaust, installed new radiator, bought new tires, and had some minor alignment done. I really wish I would have bought one years ago.

    Anyway, this forum has been a huge help! I learned how to install the radiator and a new interior light all with your "unknowing" help.

    Thanks

      So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.

        Gray in color....with a reddish pin stripe I believe. Gray interior. It has the tach, automatic, air, the underseat tray (that I didn't even know I had until I read about it on here).

          Oh Yeah....after I bought it...I had an appt at a mechanic to have him look at why there was no heat coming out of the vents. He was going to charge me a min of $50 just for the appt. The night before, I read about this Festiva quirk on this forum and cancelled my appointment!! Saved $50!
