I had a Festiva... 80 something. Best little field hopper I could ask for.

Took all week to burn a couple gallon of fuel with a "wide open or turn it off" mentality.

1st gear went out of it from all the clutch dumping, but other than that, it tracked straight and true even after all the airtime I put it through.

If you want a mini-tank, that's probably your best bet. Regardless, for $300, if it's fairly clean and runs, you got a great deal.
