Ford Aspire
Speaking of Kias and Fords from the 1990s, the Aspire is one that you’ll seldom see on the road anymore. Yes, under the hood of the blue oval-badged hatchback was actually Kia Engineering. The car was about as basic as you could get and it rivaled the Chevy Metro in the same segment. The problem was that the car was so unreliable that most owners couldn’t keep it on the road and parts were also very hard to come by (via Hot Cars).
In recent years the Aspire has gone through a transformation in the automotive community. There is a new generation of enthusiasts who are trying to find these old cars and rehab them. The problem was that it was almost impossible to find parts for the Aspire and keeping one on the road is problematic.
