Advantages: Easy to drive

Disadvantages: Small boot

It's just coming upto the year mark now that I have had my reliable KA, and I love it.

Lets start of with how it looks.

Ok so it's not going to be a car most men want, but for girls (those girly ones of us!) I think its great. It's small and is bubble shaped (reminds me of a ladybird!) . I went for Zetec Climate which has got a spoiler to make it look a bit much sporiter and alloys, which I think complete the look! It also comes in a range of colours which I found to be one of the fun parts about choosing my car (I went for silver!).

Next is the interior now for a small car I have found it's quite roomy. It only has 2 doord which means the front seats fold down to let people in the back. Now here is where the problem is, as there is quite a bit of room in the front it can be rather cramped in the back. I try and have no more then 2 people there as 3 and whoever is in the middle can't sit comfortably!
The front of the car has a built in CD player and also has a socket for me to put my IPod into! It also contains a small clock on the dashboard which lights up when my lights are turned on. The instruments (to tell me speed, petrol, revs etc) are quite large which is great as it means I am always aware of my speed or when the tank needs filling up, it's also very simple to understand. The boot of the car for me is fine however if your someone who does large food shopping trips it's not the car for you as from experience when I've picked up my mom from the supermarket bags quickly fill up the boot, and then the rest is put in the back of the car!

The KA is easy to control, and best of all it's easy to fit into them small spaces when parking, and complete a turn in the road, even if the road is narrow!

The ford KA though is very reliable, it does well with petrol as I'm only ever filling it up once a month, and as of yet nothing has gone wrong with it. Although I have been informed should anything ever go wrong Ford parts are easy, quick and cheap to fit which is always good to know! As I have the climate KA, I also have heated front and back windows, and this is a god send on them icy mornings when you have to scrap it all from your windowscreen, instead I use pres a button and within a matter of seconds the ice is melting away!

Ideally this car is proberly for a single girl who wants a small car as a runaround!

Summary: Ideal for single girls!
