Ford Ka (Ford Ka in general)
Member Name: jademortimer
Advantages: Small, efficient Disadvantages: Common technical faults My mum bought one of these about a year ago, and we both thought it was fantastic. When I passed my own driving test a few months ago, I was bought one too, and still love it. It's a great small first car, but don't let the size be a negative thing! I am 6 ft 1" and have no problems using it! My car is around 10 years old, but drives like new. There are a few problems with the locks, which I've heard is a common problem with the Ka. I can only lock it from the passenger side, but unlock from both. The boot is often a struggle to open too. I think all of these cars, or most, come in with 1.3 litre engines, and petrol is used so efficiently. At the moment it costs around £1.03 per litre, and £10 gets me 100 miles, which I think is excellent, especially compared to my friends cars! Some people find the lack of a fifth seat annoying, but it is not designed to be a large family car, so it's inconvenience should only be minimal. Another fault, however, is that the engine often cuts out when running. This could happen whilst driving, but mostly when I'm at a standstill for too long, as the revs drop too low and there is no rev counter. Again, this has happened to a few people I know with these cars, but it is easily fixed. Apart from a few minor problems, this car is great and definitely worth considering! Summary: Easy to drive, nice to look at!
