The real reason I wanted a Festiva is I feel it is our more modern equivalent of a classic mini here in the states.
Cheap, simple, fun, plenty of space

But modern cars are bigger. Its unfortunate.
Park the scion iq next to an s10 blazer and you will see what i meanComment

I think they compare good to each other look at the tail lights really if the festiva's top was lowered/chopped. I would like to have a classic mini think bmw has ruined the mini but the classics will always be collectableComment

The Festy is a much-better engineered car, with far greater longevity, practicality, and fuel mileage.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

I thought we were talking about suburban decay and the Chicago School's theory of concentric circles.

I still want an original Mini. Just because. Like I want a RWB Porche. Or a Ginetta G4.
I know it doesn't make sense really, but I still want them. I'll keep the Festiva though.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Funny to see this thread... I used to own a classic Mini which was great fun. Parts are too expensive and (my car at least) was such a mix of parts that it was hard to trouble shoot when things did go wrong. Epically fun to drive however and a great bunch of owners. As the saying goes "it is way more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow." That was the mantra of the classic Mini crowd. That connection to drive a simple, light weight car is what has me looking for a Festiva to play around with.Comment

I loved the driving scene in the first (I think) Bourne movie where he's driving the mini in escape-and-evasion mode. I consider them to be primitive prototypes of the Festy.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
