I agree, though. My turbo 323 doesn't even make me happy like my old worn out Festivas always did. Even the stock carbed 89 I had was a blast when it was nearly dead.
I've never even had a solid one myself, and I still can't get away from them.
Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
I miss zipping around in festivas and aspires... hopefully soon I'll have my abomination up and running again

Love it everyday! And love seeing my wife on the road in hers when she meets me in town for lunch sometimes, and my sister driving my other one around town too lol. I'm sure my Miata is mega-jealous of how much attention the festivas get while she just sits in the driveway looking pitiful. Ha! Maybe she'll wise up one of these days and start averaging more than 25mpg, maybe then I'll take her out more lol.
^^ Nothing like surprising the hell out of people when they realize ours are stock but not slow! Fresh rebuilds in all 3, with less than 10k on them. Even the carbie/ATX car will fly! Lol
I love driving around in mine, sort of showing off. The other day at a stop light next to some kid in a Metro I revved it a couple times. You wouldn't believe it, but he seriously gave me a dirty look, and didn't even try to keep up with me. lol

:lol: I'd get bored very quickly with a B3 festiva though lol
I'd get bored very quickly having my festiva down for months at a time
Although it does get pretty boring when you realized you're over 400 miles into a roadtrip and you still haven't gotten to stop yet, not even for gas lol.

Does your Festiva act like mine? When the price of gasoline goes up, my Festiva finds a way to raise its mpg. Yeah, Festiva takes care of me.
