We watched South Beach Classics last night on Discovery Channel and one of the mechanics had to do a parts run for a project car. What was he driving? you ask! A black Festiva!!!

*sigh* That car probably runs extremely well. They had to CG faults into that car because it WASN'T as bad as they wanted it to be. Never going to get any positive media coverage of this car.Originally posted by Basement_Modder View Post

I get where people are coming from when they say festies are trash, but I just see it differently. They are a great car to make fun of, but still so fun to own and drive. My mom's friend's husband is a mechanic, and he said he used to own one and loved the 'cute little car.' Some people just get it.1990 White L-Plus 5-speed rust-machine

Breaking bad episode 11. Out of focus blue 88/89 L at a gas station. Upper left of screen. 25:15. I saw it on Netflix. In an earlier episode they were in a junkyard. I scanned but never saw one. Every time a junkyard shows up in show or movie I look for them.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

Magazine ad, for Farmers insurance. Double-page spread, with a "sunken", yellow car, and the "professor" standing next to it... it's a Festiva!Famous Last Words: "How hard can it be?"Comment

You have to find a running non junked festiva to make fun of them in the first place, so it still pays homage in a roundabout way.1993 GL 5 speed
It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!Comment
