Kia Pride (SA/FB)
The Kia Pride — a licence-built Mazda 121 — was Kia's most successful early passenger car. Sold as the Ford Festiva in the US, its 1.1-litre engine, front-wheel drive, and exceptional fuel economy at $6,000 made it the value benchmark of the subcompact segment in multiple markets.
