Clearly, they haven't seen some of the works of art in here. -
The Ford Festiva wins the trifecta of terrible naming. The Festiva was designed for Ford by Mazda and launched in 1986. But one look at this cramped compact revealed there was nothing festive about it. Ford also partnered with South Korean automaker Kia, before Kia knew how to make decent cars, and badged a version of the Festiva with the moniker Pride — another sad exercise in wishful thinking. Finally, Ford replaced the Festiva with the Aspire in 1994, which limped along for another three years before crumbling under the weight of its own meager aspirations.Comment

My neighbor came up to me yesterday and asked if I was
starting a miniature car collection
Besides...its' still better than the Daihatsu Scat
And I'm wondering how many Ford Taunus cars
became the Ford anus over time. There have been
some weird names over the years though.Last edited by SWRT; 09-23-2014, 09:19 AM.1993 Festiva - White/Black - 5 speedComment

looked up an old car&driver comparo of about 8 small cars. the festiva was a GL. they did a poll on a college campus asking the kids to rate the cars according to if they'd be "seen" in it or wouldn't be caught dead in it. on a 10 scale the festiva was last. not one participant would be seen dead in it. stupid college punks. they don't know crap.Comment

Yet I have had multiple people try to buy mine, or stop me to talk about it.
I will agree and say the styling is not that great, it is simple and boring looking, and allot of guys think they are a little loose in the shorts and need a big truck or car to compensate.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

I don't really care for the name either. Not sure what I would have called it. Maybe just stuck with Fiesta, since that's what everybody wants to call it anyway.
The name doesn't make the car, though. People bagging on it because of that don't know what they're missing. Their loss.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
