Monash University's 2008 safety study gave the second-generation Festiva the same bleak "worse than average" two-out-of-five rating as the first — a more modern car scoring no better in a crash.
The Festiva Shogun shoehorned a V6 into a tiny economy hatch — then a cancelled order and the Gulf War recession killed it after just eight were ever built.

Ford's cheap-and-cheerful Festiva had a secret hot version: the GT and GT-X, shown at the 1986 Tokyo Motor Show, packed a unique twin-cam 1.3-litre engine, a body kit and a bonnet bulge.
