1991 Ford Festiva: Regular Car Reviews

Published on Aug 8, 2016
We review one of the smelled Fords, which isn't really a Ford. The good thing is, if it weren't for this car, the Fiesta wouldn't exist today.

1. There aready were Ford Fiestas at that time.

I drove one for a month in Ireland. Made in Germany with a tiny diesel engine that had reasonable pickup and got 80 miles to the gallon. I loved that car almost as much as I love Ireland.

4. Even before that. I owned a 1978 Fiesta for a while in the mid 80s.

Nice enough little car, but the transaxle case on mine cracked and leaked. I had to trash it, because I couldn't find a decent used transaxle in the junkyard cheap enough.

It was peppy, boxy, noisy, but cheap.

2. Ford's best kept secret. Highest HP to weight ratio. Fast and cheap to run.

A Ford mucky-muck test drove it and called it Ford's best kept secret.

gf had one. Fun car. But, that was 10 years before 1991, back in the days of my misspent youth.

3. An acquaintance of mine traded up from a rusty Yugo.

The Yugo was a terrible car.

The Festiva wasn't bad.

5. uh..... okay... Is this supposed to be ironic, semi-serious or what?

I'm only surprised that there is evidently such a wide modding community for this car...

Oh, and I like Mr. Douchebag's five-point harness
