Origionally I was googling for pics of the Kia Pride (also badged as the Ford Festiva elsewhere) to put in the 'forgotton 80's cars' thread, with some witty snipe about how gash they are.......... .........But I have been enlightened! And I thought they deserve a thread of their own Modest: Stealth mode: Versatile: Track day warrior: High Plains Drifter: Tongue In Cheek: Heart In Mouth: Neck In Brace: Roofless: Fair Effort: Quality: ;D

That InitialD Shuichi Shigeno version is pretty humourus.

I was about to shoot you down in flames as on the whole these are among the most disgusting cars ever made.
However some of those have made me change my mind, esp the white one, the 'stealth one' and the ludicrous egyptian-pharoh paint-job effort.
Damn you!!!!! ;D

When I first saw this thread I thought you'd lost your marbles bruv!! BUT, seeing them pics has kind of swayed me too If the Volvo catastrophically fails its MOT later today (it will fail, just how badly I don't know yet....), I might sack it off and get something like this... preferably from a 114 year old lady with a little over delivery miles on the clock... What "power"plant is in these things?! Any interchangeable parts with Ford / Mazda / Daewooo / Ssangyonnnngn?!

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Haha, I think the potential is buried very deep in these things, but its there ;D As for parts interchangability....... That blue effort seems to be sporting a ford double-knocker (I assume Zetec), and they were badged as the Ford Festiva in other countries too, so I bet you could raid the Ford parts bin and find bits that fit I suppose the Kia's competition is the K10 Micra though, which are much cooler IMO

Doubt Daewoo, as they're part of GM empire. Wonder if anyone will get excited about the 121 Noddy car which followed, after they flogged this model off to Kia?

i'm not a fan, also folk would inevitably refer to it as the 'gay pride' which would get annoying after a while.
