[Brayy]

I'm chasing the silver 121 in Brisbane . It just screams buy me.

[Woodsy]

did you buy it?

i was coming home from sydney the other night and guess what went flying past me..... a bloody festiva! i was doing 110kph so they would of been doing 120+ and it didnt even sound like it was pushing it, i thought they would rev there heads off on the freeway! It left me in its dust!

[kellen302]

120kph is approx 75mph for those of us who uses real measurements...

75 mph ? Thats nothing for a festiva

[bobstad]

Part aquatic, at speed.

75 mph ? Thats nothing for a festiva

The time I had the speedometer needle nearly pegged over to the right, and that started jumping around all the time; was freaky when I pulled into a freeway rest area the next of those I found after the rain had stopped enough to adjust the clutch, right?

Where once thinking the mechanical process through, I figured out the reason the speedometer needle was jumping around was the front wheels were spinning, loosing traction hydro-planing. The car was rock steady, so really not a problem. And the clutch needed adjusting anyway.

A lonely stretch of I-5 north of Portland, OR south of Chehalis, WA at around three in the morning; which is nearly always rainy except a few weeks during the summer.

110kph is our freeway speed limit here

Shows what you passed on. And what you know. Or don't. 75 mph can be hit in 3rd gear in a festiva. Then you have two more gears to hit 113 mph. That's stock. 181.85 kph. Stock.

So 120kph is a Sunday drive for a festiva.

[Woodsy]

I have no doubt it could hit those speeds, but the fact it went passed me barely making a noise is what got me, i was in a Ford Mondeo and the festiva sounded like it was reving lower than what the mondeo was lol.

I had to pass on the festiva at this point, it just wasnt financially viable to keep it and register it etc as repairs and registration would of cost me another $1200.

I used to think they were a big piece of crap before i owned one, next year when i can look at getting a car a Festiva will be on my list. a WA model anyway... i dont like the WB.

[kellen302]

I had mine up to 80 on a backroad as I matched some dude on a crotch rocket, then realized as he kept pulling past 90, downhill, into a turn, that this is also one of the biggest speed traps on the island, needless to say I hauled it in back under the 50mph limit

Even if you put $2000 in it it would pay for itself in fuel, insurance, and durability savings in very short order.
