Why Choose a 1988 Ford Festiva?
-
Cheap
We were gifted this vehicle. And we just kept on driving it.
-
Fuel Economy
Fully loaded: 24 mpg
Empty: 40 mpg -
Manual Transmission
The ability to push start this vehicle was proven highly useful.
-
Stealth Camping Anywhere
No one ever imagined two people where sleeping inside this vehicle! We could park and sleep pretty much anywhere without risking being asked to move in the middle of the night.
-
Imposible to Break
Ok ok... more likely easy and cheap to repair. We replaced more than one transmission at some random parking lot.
-
It is old and used
Averaging more 24 mpg we couldn't justify the environmental impact of buying a new vehicle to replace this perfectly fine specimen.
-
Great Conversation Starter
Love it or hate it, people would let us know what they thought about it!
