Being able to open all of the manual windows without leaving the driver seat (I'm 6'4). And also having 250K miles and it drives like new!:festiva::newb::festiva:Comment

The amount of room in it for the driver. The 42 MPG mileage. The "Energizer Bunny" going and going and going effect for a car already salvaged once and now with 250K+ miles on it.

The driving position! Sitting high above the hood line and being able to see out all the windows with excellent visibility. Also, being able to get in and out easily...all with tons of head room. Genius!Brian

NovaSS runs over chickens in his Festiva.:eeeeeek:
Mine is the feel of it. I've had several cars in my short driving life and none compare to the overall feel of a Festiva. Even stock they feel light and nimble and quick even though they aren't quick.

:laughing3: This just in, a Festiva has plowed through the local Tractor Supply Co, and it seems that the vehicle was aimed towards the chick pen.Originally posted by sketchman View Post
My favorite thing? What the heck, man? I can only list ONE? Shame!:nono: Lemme think... Probably the fact that when I'm in traffic and all those SUV drivers are trying to be aggressive, I can slip right through with feet to spare and they get scared 'cause they don't take the time to know the size of their vehicle. The road is my playground.

All of the awesome things, durability, mpg, interior room etc etc are GREAT. What I really love is that I feel like I'm getting away with something. Obviously not on people who know, members here, but on the masses. 99.99% of people see it it as something to revile, the lowest of the low, something you would be forced to drive. But I see it as the best car ever. I see it as more than a car, more like a beloved pet. I love driving around knowing I'm getting the best deal, the most fun, the most bang for my buck. While the people running around in their 4 year old SUV think they are better off than me. They think the best they could do is driving around in a brand new, 10-15 mpg, wasteful, expensive to insure/fuel SUV. They think that is success, winning. They think that the festiva is the worst they could do and that they are doing way better than me. I love knowing how many ways the festiva whips their SUV. I love knowing that they will sell that 4 year old SUV and try to get as close to brand new as they can while the dollars FLY out of their pockets.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DDComment
