I brought mine from the local dealer when they had offers on it, cost £5000 new.

So far no major costs and the insurance is nothing really!

Driving
Fun to drive around town and it is always easy to find a parking space! Holds its own when travelling on the motorway.
Performance
Although ford have given it the new engine it is now starting to feel old, maybe if they put in the Fiesta 1.25 16V it would make it perform better.

Living with it
Reliability
Had no problems so far (18mths old) and can't really see there being any as I had a V reg KA before this one and had no trouble with it.
Image
It was fresh looking but I think that is probably getting a bit old now and everyone seems to have one now.
Comfort
I have no problems with comfort with the KA, but this might be down to the fact that I'm only 5ft tall!

Security and Service
Security
Hasn't been tested as yet, but then again who would want to nick a KA.
Service
I brought my KA from a local dealer in Wigston, Leics. and have no trouble with them. When I first had my car there was a mark in the paintwork I took it back and they sorted it out for me straight away. I have also had no problems with the servicing
