I took a cross country road trip in this guy's ford festiva that I swear to God was getting 90 miles to the gallon. I want this car because of its gas mileage, apparently cheap and easy to work on. Is it worth it or are there better options? It's also a cheaper car to get for a poor fag like me.

Get that or a Metro. I would suggest a diesel otgerwise, but Americans get fuckall when it comes to choices.

I dont understand the tip over thing
it seems pretty wide and well proportioned
maybe lower it, give it beefy tires and wide body mod?

make it a track car

>ff 1.3 4 speed manual
>high center of gravity and short wheel base
>track car

Sure, you also think the AW11 is a perfect grip machine?

Better than a smart at least.

Ever heard of the Mini?

>high center of gravity
not really
>short wheelbase
thats a good thing
and you can also engine swap it

>but Americans get fuckall when it comes to choices.
How so? You mean because diesel cars aren't popular?

>>short wheelbase
>thats a good thing
Not in an FF my man

>Mini?
Mini 1? Sure, it COULD be a track car.

The modern ones? Fuck off.

>>short wheelbase
thats a good thing

Do you also like getting spanked in the ass while a nigger fucks your wife?

>shortwheelbase isnt good
Oh fuck off guys. it is

Short wheel base harms the grip of an FF car you moron

Well arent they? What is there outside of a few VAG products and trucks?

uh huh

Great reply. You convinced me.

>small cars handle worse
Get a loada this guy

Not much. Diesel isn't as popular in America as it is in Europe with cars. It's more reserved for trucks and semis.

Great reply. You convinced me.

Your mom got my load last night

Echolalia is a sign of autism.

Because it's a piece of shit Econobox that no one but poor fags and autists like you actually want, and has no place in a better country like the United States of America where gas is cheap and any engine with less than 2 liters is a joke.

Hell yea kia. Fuck the haters

Funded by ford, designed by mazda, made by Kia

WORLD CAR!

It's pretty much the only car that weighs that little short of a geo metro, and it's a much better car than a geo metro in every single way.
Would recommend.

ALSO: you can drop a Miata 1.6 or 1.8 motor in and literally double the horse power, same bolt pattern on the transmission.
1700lb car with 130hp is no joke.

Its copy of a mazda 121 so that perhaps that explains that.

It is a Mazda 121, it's not even changed in anyway.

Also it uses a B series Mazda motor, which is the same engine series the Miata uses.

Did mazda make them in korea? Used to have a festiva and it was not up to jap quality.

No, Kia manufactured them under license.

Just read through.

>those exhaust tips
>how_to_spot_a_numale.png

It's a yoshi pipe off a 1000 sports bike, stock muffler fell off so I welded that on.
I think it looks p good 2bh pham ;3
Sounds good too

It actually sounds like shit desu, dude.

I'm gonna come down to those apartment towers and kick your black ass.

I'm not going to lie about my terrible experience in your shitbox. ;^)

I'm not gonna lie about kicking ur butt boi

You don't even know what floor I live on. Good luck buddy. There's 12 floors to choose from.

I'll wait out front with the homies, you can't stay inside furever.
Got yo shit on lockdown.

>Veeky Forums makes me want to buy a festiva and make it a race car
What the fuck

>buy festiva
>put some seriously meaty modern tires /wheels on it
>lower it
>have something amazing
just steal the wheels off a new mazda 6 senpai

If you wanna put decent wheels and tires on it you're gonna have to change some shit, stock wheels and tires are 4x114.3, put 2003 Kia Rio steering knuckles/brakes on the front, they bolt right up and give you bigger brakes and 4x100 up front.
Fur the back you gotta buy some new drums and take them to a machinist, have the machinist drill the stud holes at 4x100 and take the center bore down to 54.1mm so it fits more common wheel hub bores and matches the front hub bore.

Thanks mrcummy you're an amazing guy when I want to talk about mopeds and festivas

I gotchu pham

IDIOT

What are more cars as light weight and small as a Festiva?

The Neo Geo

I can't find it. Nothing on CL either

He is an idiot but what else would you use an AW11 for?

you're an idiot

Geo owner here. Could you go a bit more into detail about how they are better than Geos?

>festiva
I read that as "fiesta" and was really confused why Ford America would sell the Mazda 121 as Fiesta when there's a perfectly good *actual* Fiesta available to them. It's still weird though.

muh square boxes
it also may be less top heavy
lighter

Micra, Starlet, Geo, any Civic up until EF. Mirage/Colt, the list could go on.

Did americlaps get the Opel Corsa?
The Corsa A/Vauxhall Nova is a classic

we didnt get the micra
we didnt get anything
IDIOT
IDIOT
IDIOT

Seems like summer overwhelmed the limit

...

...

Did America get the gti?

I have the 1300 non gti shitbox but its still pretty fun in corners.

You got the Mitsubishi Mirage as a Dodge Colt/Plymouth Champ at least.

You'd probably be better off with a Geo Metro honestly, but if you can find one then go for it.

I personally would love to import a Mk1 Fiesta.

>implying the AW11 isn't the God machine

Drive till the motor claps out
Then swap one in from a miata

/k/ will make you build a Tokarev race gun.

hey guys what's up
