Default Festiva trio 93 question

might be a dumb question. but how many gears are there for this car? my fiance has one and i notice when she drives it, when she goes around the 90 km-100km mark it sounds like its reving high almost like its not shifting into the last gear? is this normal or is this possibly a transmission issue?

Yup, 3 speed auto with 3 forward gears.

Is there a tacho? A lot of smaller engined auto cars were geared very low to make them peppy around town, take them out on the freeway and they will be revving at 3000+ RPM, teamed to a worn exhaust with minimal sound protection and it will be quite noisy.

yeah, it doesnt show the revs thats the hard thing, but now that u say its a 3 speed, i reckon its normal for it to be reving abit high at higher speed. thankyou so much
