Background
The Ford Festiva is a four passenger front-drive subcompact car originally manufactured in South Korea by Kia, under license from Mazda and marketed by Ford from 1986 until 2002 over three generations in Japan as the Festiva. The first generation was also sold as a Festiva in North America, while the first two generations were Festivas in Australasia. The third generation was a badge engineered Mazda Demio and was generally not available with Ford badging outside of Japan.
