Ford Ka in general Reviews

When my old car finally conked I had no choice but to find something new. By chance, my local Ford Dealership were doing a special deal on a used Ka, so I went along to have a look. I ended up buying the particular Ka as it has low mileage, one owner and was only 12 months old, and more importantly it was cheap. My view was that if it ...

~ ~ The hire car I booked for our recent family trip to Rome was the new model Fiat Punto. But I wasn’t too perturbed when the car hire company offered me a Ford Ka instead. I’d been intending to have a drive in a wee Ka for ages, and was supposed to have one booked on a short trip to Scotland last year, but on that occasion the hire ...

I own a 5 year old KA 3, it has all the extras you could ever wish for. For £4k I got: - Air Con - E/W - C/L - CD Player - Alloy Wheels - PAS - Leather Steering Wheel - Rear Spoiler Now before you think I’m a fan of the KA I got another rather unexpected extra for my £4k: - ...

Just thought I had to put the record straight... I read so many good reviews of this car, that I thought I would pass on my not so enjoyable experiences of owning a Ford Ka. At the time of writing I am finally getting rid of the car, and I am very happy to see the back of it! I bought the car, from new, four years ago from my local Ford ...

KA the perfect first car - Advantages: cheap/reliable, fun going round corners!, fashionable/original - Disadvantages: abit too small, boot space is tiny, reverse gear is awful

Peeling paint on 2002+ models - Advantages: Cheap to buy, Good Spec (Lux), It's a ford - Disadvantages: Paints peels on 2002 MDLS, Poor Brakes - 25Mpg, Flimsy interior

The KA SUCKS ! ! ! ! My mother has a Ford KA model '97. km 63.000. The first few years it was a great car BUT.......... First it had RUSTproblems. Then the braking fluid was leaking. Now the camshaft is broken and this will cost about 1200£ to fix. If not: bye bye engine!!!!! Ford admit that many KA ...

It's the best for around town. - Advantages: Cheap to run., Great fuel economy, Lovely to drive - Disadvantages: Cockpit rattles sometimes, Glovebox is small

When the Ford Ka first came out, I thought it was one of the ugliest cars I'd ever seen. It was those big grey/black bumpers that put me off. Ee-ew! BUT.... Ford have introduced body coloured bumpers and , boy, what a difference they make. Add in the electric windows, CD player, power steering, air bag, central locking and immobiliser. ...

Sometimes you get a broken heart; we've all had one at sometime. On 12/09/02 my heart was broken wide open. I had a thirteen year old black VW Golf GTI series 2 eight valve with alloy wheels and a damned good shine. This car was stock, no fancy modifications. My car was old, but strong and still able to hold her head up. Well cared ...

I had always wanted a Ka since their launch. In 1998 I was lucky enough to have the resources to puchase my "dream car". I purchased a P Reg used car from Bristol Street Motors. It had just over 10,000 miles on the clock. I loved my Ka. I whizzed around. It was my pride and joy! 18 months after purchasing the car I drove to Scarborough. ...

Recently had a Ford Ka as a courtesy car while my under-rated, very reliable and nippy 1.6 Megane hatch was in being repaired (some bozo bashed it in a car park). The Ka was the basic one with black bumpers. It was a hoot, once wound up it was very pokey. It handled brilliantly. As I've said elsewhere though-how come Ford get away ...

Various opinions abound concerning the Ford Ka, usually the economy associated with owning such a small motor. My previous car was a Ford Ka 2, which I traded in for a Ford Ka 3 (2000 W plate) and whilst I agree that the economy aspect makes it refreshing to drive, there are several mechanical problems which I have encountered on both of my Ka ...

this car is a fantastic purchase if you are looking for an econamical and, at the same time, stylish motor. It comes in a variety of colours and formats. For example, there is the smaller version which runs on a cheap 1.0 litre engine, or there is the luxury version for thos people who have a bit more money to spend- this version comes with full ...

i confess yes i am a ford ka owner and it all started with my mums car. i had at the time a rover metro and what a bag of s**t it was. i think i paid 4k for the car and about 2k in repairs and might i add none of them my fault ie leaky sunroof, cluth,collapsing suspension etc everthing went wrong on it. With my car spending so ...

I love the Ka. I have just bought a brand new shiny black one, a Ka Collection (middle of the range) which includes Air conditioning, a CD player, electric windows, central locking etc etc. All this in a tiny little car which cost me new... wait for it... £6,450. What a bargain! Part of the reason is that I have a discount (courtesy of my ...

The Ford KA / P/ REG 55000 Miles 1.3 fuel injection Good points A nice little town car with good acceleration, easy to service fairly cheep parts. Its a simple design apparently created collage students who wanted to reduce town congestions. I wouldnt say it was a small family car, but a shopping car or lets nip and ...

Absolutely brilliant, but don't buy from a ford dealer, buy from a supermarket. I saved £1500. - Advantages: Beautiful, Inexpensive to run, fun - Disadvantages: dodgy glove box

For many of us, buying a new car means a replacement rather than new. I have owned some pretty awesome motors in the distant past, before a long drawn out dip in fortunes meant that I took anything that was going. Nowdays, although I have more choice, I don't need to make any statements. A car is the only reason that I take out a loan and I ...

HAS NOT MISED AT BEAT, HAN'NT EVEN HAD TO REPLACE A LIGHTBULB IN 30000 MILES - Advantages: good fuel consumption, reliable, roomy front - Disadvantages: slow acceleration at speed, cramped rewar seats
