Advantages: Great mpg good looks easily repaired

Disadvantages: NONE

I bought my first Ford KA two years ago it was a totally basic model no power steering or gadgets Really i wanted a BMW but realistically couldn't afford to run one.
Advantage numero one over the BMW fuel consumption 45 plus to the gallon top speed approx 96mph that had to change.The engine being a 1.3 endura is not the best would have been better with a Zetec however with a quick rebuild including Fast road cam and gas flowed heads combined with a decent unichip,ram air kit and a Powerflow exhaust system i now have a KA that does 0-60 in 9secs and a top speed of 130 mph and still only pay £250 comprehensive insurance You really cant beat this KA.
Another thing is those large all round bumpers yes they might look horrible in black but they can be colour coded and they do absorb a lot of impact damage before braking and only cost £40 a section to replace against £200-450 if they were metal or hard plastic.
