Ford Ka (1996 - 2008) 1.3i 2 3d (1998/S) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Nothing really, apart from it says "I aint got no money"

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

It's a bit of a pit. A girl likes to drag her life round with her in her car!

Would you buy this car again and why?

No way, not even if I got a free one. It scratches too easily, people say parts are cheap, go anywhere with a KA and be a 19 year old girl then you will find that most places will mug you off (I'm OK though, I know a little bit about cars)

What are you likely to buy next?

I've got my heart set on a Citroen C3 pluriel. If not, I'll have a C2

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,250

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

It wasn't bad, considering how much it was worth at the time, now I wouldn't even pay £500 for it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I needed another car after writing off my saxo!

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

It's not too bad, doesn't like hills that much and also when it gets to 60mph, it wont go any faster, even with your foot flat on the ground.

What's it like to park?

Easy, rubbish turning circle though, my mum's picasso has got a better one!

Have you had any problems with the car?

I needed a complete set of new tyres, costing over £200, when they were done last year. It failed it's MOT last week, needed new calipers and rear cylinders for the brakes. The brakes were done in January. So I've spent nearly £700 when the car is (just about) worth £1000

What's most practical about your car?

It surprisingly roomy, my 6 foot 2 brother can sit in the back for half an hour without complaining. And it gets me to work and back (when it hasn't got dodgy brakes!!)

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It hasn't got any. Nil, Nada, Zip.
