Advantages: Reliable, smooth, easy to park

Disadvantages: Boot crumples like tinfoil

I have always driven a Ford once I passed my driving test, and after deciding to sell my Fiesta I fancied something a little smaller and cheaper to run, so plumped for a Ka.
I'd never driven a Ka before, nor knew anyone who had, but had always liked the look of them. I bought a 1999 Ka second hand, in a funny light blue/grey/lavendar sort of colour. One I'd never come across before! Had the test drive and loved how it handled.
I found the Ka quite nippy for such a small car, and was ideal for changing lane quickly and zooming off from traffice lights! I'd bought a 1.3l but found the car went surprising quickly and had a nice smooth acceleration.
One thing I loved most about the Ka is the ability to park in small places and maneuver easily around. Considering how bad my parking is this was a god-send.
The Ka is also cheap to run insurance and tax wise, and is economical on the petrol front. She ran like a dream, and I didn't have a moments bother with it (after having it 4 years) until someone drive into the back of it and wrote it off. Be aware the boot crumples easily!

Summary: Lovely little car
