  • Top Ten Festiva Questions

    Its been awhile since the last "my heat doesn't work post", but I think there should be a required reading post of the simplest questions that are asked before you are allowed to post. :wink:

    1. Heat only comes out of the defroster and floor, not the vents.
    2. Festiva wheels bolt pattern is 4x4.5" (or 114.3mm?).
    3. Festiva's were built for Ford by Kia, and they have Mazda B3 engines.

    Anyone else have some to add?

    Q:What is the stock Festiva Tire size? A: 155/70/R12

        Actually, Festiva's were built by Kia using Mazda's design under a Ford contract.

              Or,

              someone asking,

              "Why won't my Festiva start/run?"

              without providing any information except the question.... :evil:

                And paired along with that one would be: What wheels will fit my Festiva?
