FORD'S Festiva has established a certain credibility among micro-car shoppers as it is seen as slightly bigger than most others in the category. The Festiva comes close to the original Laser in dimensions and does a reasonable job of carrying four people. Its performance is relatively brisk but the tyres and suspension limit road-holding abilities.

Family Tree: FestivaThe Korean-built Festiva, Ford's light-car entrant, owed much to the original Mazda 121 - from the chassis to the 1.3-litre single-cam engine. Initially a 5-door hatch, it added a 3-door version in 1993. Light, cheap and sparsely equipped, the Festiva gave buyers what they paid for.
