I have owned a 1.3 3dr KA for a couple of months now... and I hate it. It's cheap 'n nasty... nowhere near as nippy as my last car (Peugeot 106 Escapade). Looks stupid, everything rattles, gearbox is rubbish, makes a silly whiring noise (it's a 'Johnny Cab).' Hate it! On the plus side.. Not much, but can handle my daily motorway journey better than my old Peugeot. Cant wait to get rid of ...  Read the complete review

And so, there I was one morning. I stood in front of my 15 year old Peugeot 205 and and made my final decision. Battery was dead, even though it had been on recharge all night, and it looked like it had given up the ghost. My days of a Peugeot owner were well and truely over, and so Commarades, to my next car! My friend had just got himself a brand new black Ka and after riding around in it, I had made my mind up. I wanted a Ka. So I took myself down to my local Ford dealer (big mistake) to have a look at what they had. They only had one used Ka left in stock which I quickly snapped up. Now, forgive me, but in the eagerness of my youth I didn't haggle for ...  Read the complete review

A little while ago, I had a bad week. I knew it was going to be a bad week by Sunday morning. Going out to load the car with garden rubbish (enough ivy for a university), we discover a Sainsbury's To You van has hit my Megane. It didn't just bruise it. Nope - it took the entire front moulded bumper off. I was, to say the least, less than impressed (especially with Sainsbury's attitude, which was along the lines of 'not our problem, talk to the van owner's insurance company). ANYWAY, nothing could be done on Sunday. On Monday, my car was towed, and I was lent, as its replacement, an 02 registered Ka, with just under 5,000 miles on the clock. For five days I ...  Read the complete review

Kind of like a beetle shape crossed with a wide mouthed frog! That is the description I would have to give to anyone who asked me what they looked like. However, the Ka is the best thing since sliced bread. My long-suffering wife, Sherry, has changed her Ka every year, the first one she past her test in. So therefore I feel I should ask her for her opinion as well as mine. Kind of like a joint opinion, before Anna and (I know who) produce theirs. Firstly, let me tell you what you get for your money, or for all the analytical readers, THE FACTS Ka1 £6995 1.3 efi engine. Seats 2 adults with great ease in the ...  Read the complete review

After reading some reviews of the Ford Ka on this site I feel obliged to put across my opinion. I have owned 2 Ford Ka's in my lifetime, along with countless other Fords, Citroens, Peugoets and Vauxhalls. I have also driven pretty much every small or cheap car going, from Kias to Corsas, and I have to say, the Peugeot 106/Citreon C1/Toyota Aygo is the nippiest. The Nissan Micra is the best at cornering. The Smart ForTwo is best for parking, and the Corsa has the most mirrors! However, the Ford Ka, up until recently, had not changed it's design in 15 odd years and was still one of the most popular cars on the market, which has to say something, ...  Read the complete review
