Advantages: price

Disadvantages: poorly made

The Ford Ka, reminds me of a tin can. When i used to wash my ka, the doors would bend and out. I soon realised that the Ka wasnt the best built car in the world.

You see Ford Ka's, just about everywhere, they are a cheap car to buy, and often you can get them very cheap second hand. The main reason they are so popular is because they are very cheap on parts, they have a low insurance group, they are small and dinky so easy to park and drive and they are relatively cheap.

The drive of a ka varies depending on what model you go for, i drove a very basic ka, and i have to say it was like driving a tank, and then tried the top of the range Ka, and actually it was lovelly to drive. It was light and easy to manoverure.

You often see Kas in Red, but i would be careful about getting red, as my red Ka faded badly, despite me cleaning and waxing it every month. The other thing i noticed about my friends Ka, was that the black bumper, faded and went nearly grey, which was really unsightly, personally if you can, i'd go for the colour coded bumpers.

Prices can vary, for a brand new Ka you can pay anything up to £9000, for a second hand Ka, you can get them as cheap as £500. If you do go for second hand, make sure theres no rust, as ka's do rust badly, especially around the doors.

Summary: not the safest car ive ever driven
