The Ford Festiva, a compact car produced from 1986 to 1993, was a product of Ford's collaboration with the Japanese automaker, Mazda. Initially marketed as a "world car," the Festiva was designed to be a fuel-efficient and affordable entry-level vehicle. While it was marketed under the Ford name in North America, it was sold as the Mazda 121 in other markets. This rebadging strategy allowed Ford to utilize existing technology and production facilities, thereby lowering manufacturing costs and making the Festiva an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. The Festiva's design, featuring a compact hatchback body style with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, prioritized practicality and space efficiency. Its small size and maneuverability made it well-suited for city driving and tight parking spaces. The Festiva's powertrain options, consisting of a 1.1-liter or 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, were known for their fuel efficiency, delivering a respectable mileage for the era. While performance wasn't a priority, the Festiva offered a comfortable and relatively quiet ride. The suspension, featuring MacPherson struts at the front and a live axle at the rear, provided a decent balance of handling and ride comfort. Interior space, while limited, was thoughtfully designed to maximize practicality, offering seating for four passengers and a modest cargo area. The "Shop Manual 1986-1993" is a valuable resource for owners and mechanics, providing detailed information on the Festiva's mechanical systems, repair procedures, and maintenance schedules. It serves as an essential tool for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of this iconic compact car.
