Welcome to the forums. May I recomend you visit the Eurofordclub guys on the site here.... They are pretty well versed in what works & what doesn't for the Festi's

Must be cause they are crap...

Teki04 · 15-11-2005, 12:43 AM

Can a Festiva ever be sporty?

Its a Festiva, we Eurob!tches probably have as much knowledge about the ole Korean banger as what you XR or FPV fellas know.....

Just because the name is similar and its a small Ford (albeit really just a rebadged Kia) doesn't mean anything. They aren't the same car or even similar, there should be a section for Festiva, or you could use the Four Cylinder tech section. I don't know.

Sorry, I just get touchy when people throw Festiva and Fiesta into the same bag of oranges

:

Having said that, good luck with your car matey, Just be careful in it, as their brakes were very woeful, as was their handling, and they had a dangerous tendency for sliding under a little more than normal brakes in the wet. Have fun doin it up anyways!

whippet_zetec · 15-11-2005, 12:14 PM

hey dont knock the Festiva....my wife has one and apart from the panels being as easy to dent as butter the thing has been more reliable than any pretty much any car I have owned incuding Falcon...although my Foci is giving it a run for its money ;)

I also understand that it isnt a EuroFord, but then tachnically the only reason the new Foci is because of its engineering as it is certainly made in South Africa isnt it???

Scotty: Welcome to the forums, have fun, and check out www.eurofordclub.com for more on small fords and upcoming events and cruises with the club.

Teki04 · 15-11-2005, 01:02 PM

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, the FESTIVA was NEVER engineered in Europe. It is PURELY Korean.... i dont think it was even SOLD in EUROPE!

IMO, the Festiva doesnt belong here.... Agreed with what Danny said... we dont know anything about the Festiva. It might have been reliable.... but it was never a drivers car....

Not saying you shouldnt do it up Scotty. I dont agree with everyones opinion... hell my friend loves his 1.4L Barina, and i see merits in it.... but its not for everyone.

Im just saying that here, im not sure you will find any information as the Festiva never really generated "enthusiasts".

Do you have a picture of the Festiva S? Im guessing it had alloys and a badge?

FlaminFiesta · 15-11-2005, 03:14 PM

Hyundai Festiva ive heard of that

sorry to be rude mate :?( us euroford boffins get touchy.. hehe

15-11-2005, 07:47 PM

ill get pictures for u soon im getting rims in a few weeks

**Polyal** · 15-11-2005, 10:30 PM

lol..listen to you euro trash es...

welcome and have fun with your car...you fiesta guys might want to check the sales figures before you mouth off any more because from what I remember they did quite well. Happy to be proven wrong though

Sold more doesnt mean they are better?

Is a Hyandai Getz better then a Ford Fiesta?
Is a Holden Commodore better then a Ford Falcon? (bias.... but you see where im going)

Scareybear · 15-11-2005, 11:00 PM

Welcome, hope you can ignore the snobs here, Dunno if any of us can be too much help, But you never know...

simonr · 15-11-2005, 11:22 PM

The point us "eurotrash" are tryin to make that the festiva is not a FIESTA and posts about a totally different car shouldnt be put into this section...

and the Fiesta owners i know HATE having their european engineered cars be associated with that obviously korean car..

Teki04 · 15-11-2005, 11:31 PM

Its quite funny actually.... this subforum is dominated by Fiesta... there is a Ka section..... but once again, we dont have any. Festiva.... well they were just cheap runabouts.

Associating the Festiva with a Fiesta is totally wrong. One is a solid built car that excites.... the other is a dull tinny car. Which is which?.... lets just say the Festiva is not an exciting drive....

**Polyal** · 15-11-2005, 11:42 PM

lol..you guys are crack ups.

where else would you like the festiva section to go? Its small, newish and its a ford, this is where it belongs. And if someone cant tell the difference between a fiesta and a festiva then who cares.

Of course sales dont equal a good car, lots of examples around, but face the facts; the festiva sell better than a fiesta. It was only a matter of time that one owner was going to need some info.

And who owns a KA anyway, Ford hasn't sold the POS for ages!

4cylinder section?

Newish? 1998 was the last model...

Yep, sales dont equal a good car. Im glad with that... it means there are less cars like mine on the road!

Ummmmmmmm, The Ka was sold AFTER the Festiva. So, by saying "Ford Hasn't sold the POS for ages"... i guess your refering to the Festiva too?

Please, the only reason why a Festiva was sold in numbers, was because it was a cheap, first car runabout.

Maybe in the Laser/Telstar section? They were built around the same time (early 1990s)

Remember, it's just the internet. Breathe a second. If you feel like you're only going to come into a thread to flame the person who is excited about something they have done to their car, then don't. Even if you feel you know the world about your car and all the right terms, not everyone may, so bear that in mind.

It's a friendly place to talk about your cars and things, so enjoy it.

Peace out.

cmon guys, lets be nice now
