@boostedwolfie actually at 60mph you do a 1 mile/minute. So 1/2 mile in 30 seconds, 1/4 mile in 15 seconds, 1/8th mile in 7.5 seconds.... actually sir your math is wrong.
nice you must have kept your oil changed thats the life of your engine there!! you went far enough to drive to the moon and back!! How many miles on it now? or when it broke down how many miles on it????
@Motorfordtoyota The festiva is not slow. It is normal. 0-60 is 10 seconds. Thje metro is slow 0-60 of 13 seconds. The metro has half the average lifespan of the festiva. 300,000 is the average lifespan of a festiva.
@neanderpaul Though I have never seen a Metro with 500k on the clock, 300k is not unheard of with well taken care of examples. Many go well north of 200k with few problems.
Not knocking the Festiva, it's an awesome car, but the Metro is quite a fantastic piece as well. Especially when MPG is involved: I often get 45+ on the highway with mine.
@SPQRImperator 300k is great! 200K is the beginning of respectable or getting your moneys worth. The thing about festivas is they will go 300k on average without being well taken care of. The well taken care of festivas are the ones with 500k. Since my last 500K comment I've found 2 more with 500k. And festivas can get 53 mpg. the metro beats the festy there by about 5 mpg. Which is significant.0-60 though the festy beats the metro by about 3 seconds.Metros are for buying fixing and selling! lol
Nice examples of both (w/manual gearboxes, low miles) are flying off craigslist right now, just as they did back in 2008 when gas was hitting $5/gallon here in the U.S.
I bought my '94 Metro for $1300 back when gas was only $1.30-ish here back in late 2009. Only had 112k miles on it (5-speed, natch), and only just passed 117k last month.
It still runs loike new, and I'm either going to sell it for close to $3k when gas hits $5/gal again, or I'll drive it into the ground.
@SPQRImperator LOL! I have an escort on ebay right now! And I have a festiva with a boat load of new parts that is chomping at the bit to hit ebay when gas hits 4.50! You SCORED at that price!!
I have two friends with cash in hand that have told me: "If you ever sell it, I want first dibs. I'll give you $2,000."
I want a bit more than that, but yes, these cars are now, once again, a psuedo status symbol in the post $3/gallon world. I stand to profit from it handsomely in a few months I suspect.
But again, mad props to the Mazda 131/Ford Festiva/Kia Pride. That is a damned fine automobile.
Built in a kia plant... with mazda b3 engines and ford emblems are these amazingly fun cars.. that you can mod to run 12's in the quarter for less than 2 grand so by no means are these cars pieces of crap.. FESTIVA FTW!!!!......id take a 91 festiva with a bp swap anyday.over any honda, mitsu toyota, nissan ,ect... oh and as far as bigger motors... the chevy vortech 4.3 ftw....friends has over 300,000 and it runs like it was bouight yesterday

@10yroldcarlover Nope. Elements are normal. WRX @ 5 is fast. CRX SI @ 8 is quick. Festivas, Elements and lots of other cars @ 10 are normal. Metros, troopers, diesel 80's Mercedes etc @ 13-15 are slow. Festivas stock are not slow. Modded they kill. FAST! search festiva GTO to see.
god i love these little cars. I had one when i was a small child and hen one day we were driving home and the front axel just shedded itself and popped off lol. maybe someday il get to visit the farm that my parents brought it to
@youngbleeb, While Ford and Mazda have both shared tech. over the years, many of the Ford products are FORD products. The 3.5 Duratech V6 in the Edge is all Ford engineering. The 3.7 Duratech the the Lincoln MKS, Mazda CX9, etc. is all FORD. While the chassis of the Ford Fusion is mostly Mazda engineered, the powertrain is all FORD in the V6 models. I am a Ford Service Manager, I know these things. Ask me which carmaker(GM) built such junk for years and years that they lost all marketshare.
My parents owned a 1994 Kia Pride (Ford Festiva) in Korea. It was a good little car, it kept running, and all they did was change the oil. Must of had over 200,000 miles on it.
@colj001 , you're surprised but I'm not because I've seen 8 festivas with over 500,000 miles. I've seen dozens and dozens with over 300,000 miles. It's because festivas are bullet proof legends!! Festiva FTW again!
You are a god, not because the car made it to 500k...but because it made it to 500k, and ALL the miles are YOURS.
You are a fucking pimp. I have a mere 115k on my '94 geo Metor 3-cylinder 5 speed, and I'll be keeping it at least until 200k. She runs like a dream, almost like new. Oh, and i change the oil and filter every 1,000 miles. Tranny fluid will be changed every 5,000 (I've only had it for 9 months and less than 2,000 miles). I only use synthetic, and I don't dog the car.
@Evansmustard they used to do that to car's in 80's cause usually the highway speed limit was 55 mph and that circle was just a reminder that that was the speed limit.
@LeXdebobbit because ford new they could not build a car thereself that was that good that's why they "only" have their "names" on them. But the car has a mazda engine and trans and a kia platform. :)
This car is actually a KIA designed with a Mazda power plant. From Wikipedia - "Manufactured by Kia Motors, at the time partly owned by Ford, the Festiva used the Mazda DA platform and Mazda's B Series four-cylinder engines."
@orimabu The car is nothing American you dumbass, do some research, it is a Kia platform with a Mazda engine and trans and shitty "ford" emblems, Nothing American can run that long, this fucking stupid ass careless dump of a country u.s.a. is too sorry to build a descent car to run that long, and the "only american car that I've ever seen run that long is a chevy chevette and that was probably because they have "ISUZU" engines in them so my point exactly. :)
@kowalskideahl Kian only assembled it. And yes a few other fords, true fords can last like this. the 300 straight 6 and the 4.6 have both been known too. Look up 1,000,000 mile econoline here on youtube.
man oh man its rare to see a car with an original engine hit 500,000miles! the only other ford vehicle i know that could do that is an 80's 4cyl mustang..
and what would cause that? there's no power steering, no air con, no cruise control. i had a 93 had 300k when i sold it. no problems at all. just usual maintenance. oh and i got 50-60mpg highway all the time. most reliable car i've ever owned. worth all the 500 bucks i paid for it and that was a good 5 years ago when i got it.
My parents always complaining that there cars are messing up, wen they do an oil change every year tsk tsk never maintence them or anything, i take care of my camaro cuz i took auto classes so i know whats up.
My aunt had an accord and she never changed the oil and it died after about 4 or 5 years! I me or my dad always changes the oil on our cars, our odyssey is almost up to 200,000 miles!
I have 93 - bought in 96 71,000 ($3,800 -impulse buy) thought paid 2 much - now 13 yrs later at 185,000 was a good price - tho may only go another 7 yrs an Uber Reliable car
(tho the 10 mile a day dirt road trips with suicidal F'ing pheasants are taking there toll on my windshield/grille/lights
@DJisaBaker667 No it's a Mazda engine and trans with a Kia platform, and "shitty" ford emblems on it. I wish to god it said Mazda on it instead of ford, I hate fords!
@kowalskideahl my bad. either way still shitty. Long lasting and good gas mileage, but they do 0-60 in never. Sometimes you gotta go fast to get a good rush, and vibrating to the point where your teeth are about to fall out when your going 65 mph and redlining in fifth gear wont cut it.
@neanderpaul Yeah, it's sad that that's better than my junksicle sitting in the driveway. 2001 Dodge stratus coupe 2.4. It's A mitsubishi eclipse with dodge panels and six fatties riding along. Since it's a mitsubishi engine I don't even wanna try going fast, I need this car and I dont need to blow an engine today.
Which also means you were driving at least an hour average every day which would be 288 solid days of driving at the VERY bare minimum. This shit is fake
my dad drove from Ottawa, IL to Burr Ridge, IL every day that over 70 miles one way! You should see his Sadern, (460,000+ miles!) They don't make them like they used to.
no it was a 2.0 4cylinder the guys that picked it up when my dad donated the car where empressed, my dad had it for 15 years but took really good care of it
FYI festiva is made by kia. its a exact copy of mazda 121. kia mass produced it and ford put their badge on it. this is actually a japanese car. sorry to say that american cars are not as built to last.
@ricefighter2003 Holy cow! Somebody got it exactly right!!! In a sea of comments here stating incorrectly that it is a kia design, kia engine, or a ford engine, ricefighter2003 gets it right!! Rock!!
fastfirebird1969. Funny you should say that about American cars. My dad owned a Festiva once. Funny thing is that the body had a sticker on it that said made in Korea and the engine had a tag that said Mazda. Not sure on the auto tranny. Too bad it got wrecked awesome little car. Unfortunately not a real Ford. Not that it matters.
I am European. Ford don't sell this car in Europe. Ford sells the Ford Fiesta. Ford Fiesta is much better than the festiva, but it is a cheap car here in Europe too. Ford Fiesta will be sold in United States again in this year or the next.
whatever. when you see 1 fiesta with even 300,000 miles we can talk about it standing in the shadow of the mighty festiva. 300,000 is the AVERAGE lifespan of a festiva. It is a far superior car to the same year or any year fiesta.
@brooklynnboy26 Ford doesnt make shit, get your head out of your ass. The Fusion is a Mazda6, NOT the other way around. The Euro Focus is a Mazda3, not the other way around. This has been an established business deal since the 70s (Ford Laser, Courier, Telstar and many models youve never even heard of that sell WORLDWIDE are all Ford badged Mazda's built in Japan. Guess what, the international market combined is much bigger than the american one, only place where morons believe what you believe
@youngbleeb First of all my head has been outta of my ass,ever since they made ford.i think ford sucks everything about it ExPSILLY there trucks!!And Yes Ford Does Make Shit There Fucking Cars!are SHit! And The 4.6 v8 IS SOOOOOOOOOO UNDERPOWERED!!!231HPp For A V8 TRuCK? My 2004 Nissan Altima 3.5sev6 has 245Hp And 215 Toruqe.....Its Sooo Muhc Better Then Shitty Ford
Mine's just a youngster at 387,000. Unfortunately, the rust of the NE has just about taken it.

and what would cause that? there's no power steering, no air con, no cruise control. i had a 93 had 300k when i sold it. no problems at all. just usual maintenance. oh and i got 50-60mpg highway all the time. most reliable car i've ever owned. worth all the 500 bucks i paid for it and that was a good 5 years ago when i got it.

Agreed! PMCS should be done constantly! A vehicle should be taken care of and if it is no matter what make or model.. it will last!

My aunt had an accord and she never changed the oil and it died after about 4 or 5 years! I me or my dad always changes the oil on our cars, our odyssey is almost up to 200,000 miles!

kowalskideahl 1 year ago
@kowalskideahl my bad. either way still shitty. Long lasting and good gas mileage, but they do 0-60 in never. Sometimes you gotta go fast to get a good rush, and vibrating to the point where your teeth are about to fall out when your going 65 mph and redlining in fifth gear wont cut it.
DJisaBaker667 1 year ago
@DJisaBaker667 Not even close. They do 0-60 in ten seconds. The same as my 03 Honda Element for instance. They are not quick but they are NOT slow.

@neanderpaul Yeah, it's sad that that's better than my junksicle sitting in the driveway. 2001 Dodge stratus coupe 2.4. It's A mitsubishi eclipse with dodge panels and six fatties riding along. Since it's a mitsubishi engine I don't even wanna try going fast, I need this car and I dont need to blow an engine today.

If that odometer is accurate that means you were driving 72 miles on average EVERY day.
Topgun588 2 years ago
This has been flagged as spam show
Which also means you were driving at least an hour average every day which would be 288 solid days of driving at the VERY bare minimum. This shit is fake
Topgun588 2 years ago
considering I do a 65 mile commute, each way, 5 days a week. PLUS bombing around town and weekend trips, I would say its pretty believable....

FYI festiva is made by kia. its a exact copy of mazda 121. kia mass produced it and ford put their badge on it. this is actually a japanese car. sorry to say that american cars are not as built to last.

fastfirebird1969. Funny you should say that about American cars. My dad owned a Festiva once. Funny thing is that the body had a sticker on it that said made in Korea and the engine had a tag that said Mazda. Not sure on the auto tranny. Too bad it got wrecked awesome little car. Unfortunately not a real Ford. Not that it matters.
rodwy 3 years ago
Ford still sells the festiva in Europe and the diesel version get 65mpg. I hope they bring it here, to the United States well congratulations.
Who Says American cars dont last there are Jap cars that bit the dust at half that mileage.
fastfirebird1969 3 years ago
I am European. Ford don't sell this car in Europe. Ford sells the Ford Fiesta. Ford Fiesta is much better than the festiva, but it is a cheap car here in Europe too. Ford Fiesta will be sold in United States again in this year or the next.

Hazendado,
whatever. when you see 1 fiesta with even 300,000 miles we can talk about it standing in the shadow of the mighty festiva. 300,000 is the AVERAGE lifespan of a festiva. It is a far superior car to the same year or any year fiesta.

It will be build in Thailand in the same factory where Mazda 2 is build now.

@brooklynnboy26 Ford doesnt make shit, get your head out of your ass. The Fusion is a Mazda6, NOT the other way around. The Euro Focus is a Mazda3, not the other way around. This has been an established business deal since the 70s (Ford Laser, Courier, Telstar and many models youve never even heard of that sell WORLDWIDE are all Ford badged Mazda's built in Japan. Guess what, the international market combined is much bigger than the american one, only place where morons believe what you believe
