Used 1993 Ford Festiva

"Most reliable car ever had"

"20 yrs and 270K... most engine work was replace alternator (Mazda Engine in a Kia Body w/Ford Badge)"

"very good tow truck"

"i have abused my festiva for the last 2 years it servived a horse, six deer, and me using it as a tow truck. I use the car 2 load vehicals on to my trailer that dont run and i haul scrap metal w it. the best thing about my car is it never lets me down or leaves me stranded, if it has gas it will run"

"Fantastic car that does everything"

"I have put 336,000km on 2 festivas. My first rusted out at 485,000km. Incredibly reliable, parts are super cheap (www.rockauto.com). Fantastic fuel milage and very fun to drive. I pulled a 2,000 pound trailer with 4 of us in the car 30,000km across Canada and Alaska with the stock motor. Great cars for commuting, off roading, ice racing, competative with corvettes and camaros road racing with about $2500 of modifications, good hunting vehicles. More reliable than any other vehicle i or any of my family has ever owned. When you add the cost of maintinance, fuel and insurance togeather these are very cheap cars to own. I have pulled many people out of the ditch with mine, even a diesel pickup and stocktailer once. I took my festiva to the drag strip twice. I only beat 2 cars to the finish line but i did beat over half of them off the start with the stock motor and nearly bald walmart tires. The 12in tires are readily available online, but a great upgrade is to get 165/55 R14 tires. The achilles, federal and kumho tires in that size are all fantastic. Same outer diameter as the originals so the speedometer is the same, but much better handling. 165/70 R12 was an optional tire size so the width is also oem."
