Does anyone have any experience with Ford Fiesta/Festivas? The campground has one for sale for $500, its in good shape. The civic I am driving is my parents and I am soon moving out of home and need a cheap car to get me around. Plus it has a decent hatch area and would be nice for a stereo.

What do you guys think?

If the ABS doesn't work (assuming it has it), really expensive to fix I believe.

Otherwise, nobody ever called for parts from our wrecking yard ... mind you I haven't seen one in years.

Two of my buddies drive them! Festiva's should be call Dectiva because they're damn deceiving. They look like tiny cars but there is SO much space inside. I think the car would slam with a good system. I'd buy it.

Cam Waugh of CWS Tuning puts in Maxda 323 turbo motors to make them FASTiva's. Pretty cool. There is an article in a SCC about it.

Look at it this way, if you do a system you can enter it into the powerwheels category

A buddy had one and it took a beating and just kept on running.
If you think it will pass an e-test and it's not rusted out, $500 isn't bad.

I'm not into the import car scene.. I want the car based on fuel economy, insurance, etc etc
