I thought the Ford Festiva was a Mazda? Where does KIA fit into the mix? Is the KIA like the whole GMC/Chevy or Buick/Oldsmobile thing??? I have a 93 Festiva I'm planning on buying for a Teenager (or two). It's only $100 but its really butt ugly! I bought a 1988 Festiva brand new in their first year and loved it. The 93 runs great but needs lots of cleaning and primping to make it other than a cyber geek/ Dukes of hazzard mobile. :lol:

mazda design, kia built, sold by ford. Excellent car for a teenager. My daughter is getting my daily driver this summer. She's been asking for one for years and it woked out she'll get mine.
$100 is a good price. Let the teenagers clean it and get it ready for driving. Also the best car to learn to drive on. They are easy to park and handle well.

Its like Mitsubishi Lancer/ Proton Wira , when the lancer change each generation Proton ( Malaysia) built the old generation much cheap . In my case I have a Kia Pride 1997 and is a very good Car.!!!Comment

I taught my roommate how to drive in my car. The festiva is perfect for it. It has excellent visibility, and very good driver feedback. For a teenager it's perfect because with a stock engine you kinda limit them from speeding too much.
