Re: few engine questions
I have an 88 Festiva and the thing is a tank. The only parts that i know of from talking to other Techs that wear out quicker then others are the front wheel bearing and every now and then a distributer. Other then that they are very good cars. I dont know other better years then others. I think they are all good. Stick to manual transmissions and you wont have a problem.

Re: few engine questions
Well i ask because there are several around here for sale, 89 thru 93 if i remember correctly. Have yet to go look at any, just trying to get a heads up on what to look for in these models.
And thanks for the replies too! |
