Advantages: Economical, efficiant, cute, excellent comfort

Disadvantages: Small for families or storage

** How I came about to getting this car . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So throughout learning how to drive, all my friends was getting corsa's and clios and puntos. Although they was nice I personally preffered the KA's. I had only ever seen them driving past however i thoguht the unique bubble like shape was quite cute. After passing my test i sat in a family members 04 corsa and didnt like it. I felt quite low to the ground (this is an issue my dad has with cars, and appears its been passed onto me now). I sat in a friends 02 clio and felt the same lowness. Sat in an old fiesta and felt like i had been sucked into the drivers seat. However then i sat in the KA and felt like i was on a thrown. So this just made me even more certain this was the car for me.


** Style & Comfort . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

OK so as stated the bubble shape is quite cute i think, i shall warn you though that cute bubble shape isnt created with the most storage space in mind. It is tiny, the boot barely fits 3 resusable carry bags in, however i personally feel this is what adds to the car. Comfort wise, as stated i feel very high up with the seat and very comphy. It comes with a radio cassette, and the radio consists of 3 buttons, this just makes me smile even more as i feel its another cute little feature. Comes with a little back pocket pouch and various cup holds through the car (which i thought a useful additional feature). A lot of people say these cars are 'Tinney' however this is only because I think the inside door panels are not all padded out with fancey material and leather. The inside is however the color of the cars outer paint, if that makes sense.


** Price . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Is a small economical car which go down well for cheap insurance, so they are popular and can hold their prices. However a decent amount of research you can drop on a bargain. Insurance is great on these, they come under a group 1 i think maybe a group 2 so do appeal the new drivers.


** Additional features i.e Fuel / Engine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Petrol is great on this i feel. It is just under a £40 tank i would say, i worked this out from each quarter on the petrol gauge holding around £10 worth of fuel. Petrol seems to last as well. Even though this is a 2 door car the back seats do have the ability to open the back windows on vent, which is a nice feature.


** Would i reccomend it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Yes absolutly, I constantly rave on about how much I love my little car. Its perfect for me. I mean it's not to everyones taste, I know a lot of people who can't stand the things and despise the look of them, yet it's everyones personal prefference.


-Negatives- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

- 2 Doors and small boot so not the best for larger families or prams
- Often assosiated or steriotyped as a 'Girls' car


These features may not be on all Ka's, however my 03 model has these.


** Hope this helps

Thanks Jade . . .
