Ford Ka in general Reviews

Ford have made a quite staggering leap forward in the quality of their products over the last 7 or 8 years. They have successfully gone from producing vehicles that epitomised conservative mediocrity to making cars that are individual, innovative and dynamically superb. If one car embodies this transitition more than any other, then it is the ...

Having driven many small cars in my time my experience behind the wheel of the Ka 3 was astonishing. Although bug-like in appearance, the features crammed into such a small package are amazing. A CD player, air-con, power steering, alloys and a 1.3 fuel injected engine. The seating is excellent. I am 6 foot 3 and had no trouble in the ...

Having had my Ka for exactly one year I can confirm that it is an exceptional car. The quality of workmanship is fairly high, for a supermini and so far and after 10,000 miles I've had no problems with it. The Ka's performance is great around town, with a 1.3 litre engine and plent of torque in the lower gears. The ...

I am on my 3rd Ford Ka. There are two reasons for this: 1: I can't afford to have a bigger car i.e. Ford Puma 2: I like the little things Okay, so the Ford Ka 1.3 litre engine is not the most attractive 'bubble' car on the road, although it has a nice rounded, streamlined shape, and it can do 85-90mph ...

Ford Ka is one of those cars where you look at it and think 'what a wonderful super-mini' or you think totally the opposite 'I hate that car, the shape is horrible'. Well, personally speaking I don't hate it but I do not like it either. The horrible curve of this thing is the main reason why I wouldn't buy this car. It has ...

Having always driven large saloon cars for over 15 years like Cavalier SRI, Alfa 146, Nissan Primera 2.0L (odd combination!!) I was surprised when the other day I was given a courtesy Ford Ka car, to find that it takes corners like ‘Pritt Stick’ to paper!!! The handling around corners is excellent even at speeds of 60mph ...

When I was looking for a new small car in the Summer, I looked at all the models in the class such as the Vauxhall Corsa and the Toyota Yaris. However, amongst the crowd, the Ford Ka stood out for a number of reasons. Firstly, I loved the body shape of the Ka. When it came out I hated it but over time it has slowly grown on me. Secondly, ...

My Mum has been driving a KA for about 3 years now. I regularly borrow it when I'm going on a long journey. It helps her for the car to get a good run, as she only uses it for local trips. It helps me to keep the mileage down on my car, I'm doing about 6000 miles in six months so taking the KA on the longer trips keeps this down. ...

I recently purchased a Ford Ka, I was attracted by the look of the car, and also the size (you can fit it into almost any parking space) the first time I drove the car, it seemed fine, I was very pleased with it. It wasn’t until a few weeks later, that the problems started to occur, the first think that I noticed that had ...

To be honest I have no real interest in cars at all. I just wanted to get a new one quickly. I was supposed to be getting a Corsa but that fell through and I was offered a Ford Ka. I just thought, what the hell and said yes. The first time I even drove it was when I picked it up. I can hear gasps of disbelief at that last statement! ...

The Ford KA is a revelation. Based on the Fiesta platform, the KA is a superb town car, with surprisingly good motorway and "A" road capability. The engine is a fuel injected version of Ford's traditional 1300cc unit, and it offers an easy 60 bhp with an ample spread of torque at moderate revs. Although I normally prefer ...

I have recently been lent a Ford Ka as a curtesy car while mine was being repaired. I looked at one two years ago while looking for my current car & decided against even taking one for a test drive. I find the driving position very low. I am only 5' & many cars I have looked at seem to give me the same view about 20% of the screen to ...

The experience I had of a Ford Ka was not long. I was driven in it for only a short distance. While that may not be the most comprehensive test available it did let me see just how well built they are. Maybe, just maybe not as solid as a VW Polo but close. The refinement was as good and the handling much better. The ride was more composed and the ...

Last year you wouldn't have seen me dead in a Ford Ka!! This year has seen me 'borrow' the wife's Ka at every available opportunity!! So what’s changed – the Ka certainly hasn’t so it must be me! Help! Have I lost my taste in cars? I don’t think so, I still lust after cars like the Audi TT, so that ...

This Smart Ford Ka is a womans dream. Based on the Fiesta, it retains all the good-riding and handling characterises of its bigger sibling. Boot a little small even for a car of this size, the Corsa boot is far bigger, and the venerable 1.3-litre engine, while ok a little car (well ya cant expect a 3.0 litre super car), should be swapped for the ...

We have had this car for about a year, and it has already fallen apart, rear foot space and under the seats are made of cardboard! The seats are very uncomfortable, and the suspension just doesn't work. You may have been attracted to this car by its outside appearance, but before you fall in love, try sitting in it, look around the rear seats, ...

I've had my Ka for 18 months now and it's a bit of a mixed blessing. I still love the unusual and eye catching shape, it's tight and enjoyable handling, and the fact it costs nothing to run. However, I do have a gripe with the build quality and certain aspects of Fords customer care. I do not expect an 18 month old car to have ...

The Ford Ka, was a revolutionary design when it was brought out in the mid ‘90’s. The quirky looking car is now accepted within society. As one of the smallest cars, and able to seat up to four adults comfortably, it is one of the best small cars in the world. When Ford revamp it – in a few years, there will be the availability ...

You will not suffer from any problems of parking with this car. It will easily squeeze into the most challenging parking space in the city. Although the engine is only a mere 1.3L, it is reasonably fast in acceleration and most important, it saves petrol. The car is aimed at the cheaper end of the market but you can expect a lot of fabulous ...

I think that the ford Ka is a really neat car . The main obvious advantage is that it is small and very compact , making it simply ideal for city driving and parking . My favourite is the limited edition Ka silver which comes complete with luxury features . Air conditioning , Cd player , electic windows , central locking , and ...
