Picked this up for $800 with only 71k miles. Very clean and in decent condition, handled the 50 mile drive home at speeds of 75mph with no major issues aside from it being fantastically slow

Welcome! That's a steal, that mileage for that price, and a nice color too. Auto or 5-speed?
What do you mean slow? You were doing 75! ;-)

It's a 5 speed. Hills make me nervous especially on the highway
But it has zero rust from it originally being a AZ car and no leaks or seeping. It was either this or a '88 Festiva with 228k and a bad CVLast edited by Kringlekrush; 02-16-2015, 08:05 PM.Comment

Same here. My average after many tanks is 36.5 and I drive it with a little more finesse than I did my Festiva. I would beat the snot out of my Festiva and get 40 mpg. However, 36.5 is much better than 15 and 13 that I get on my other vehicles.Originally posted by old yellow View PostRick

Nice ride! The drawback to AZ cars is the heat is hell on the paint and plastic parts, but people here can help with anything you may need. Welcome to the community!Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.Comment

In the spring, I will be swapping my Aspire motor and 5-speed for the ones in Matthew, giving me 85 WHP and the taller ratio. On a trip to FL, I got 48 mpg @ 60mph, over a 250-mile run in Matthew. Curious to see what kind of mileage I get with this combo in an Aspire body--i.e., 300 lbs heavier but with better aero.Originally posted by festyxfi View Post
BTW my personal best in my stock Aspire was 52 mpg @ 60 mph.Last edited by TominMO; 02-17-2015, 09:46 AM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
