    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Economical buy. Parts cheap. Keep chipping the hub caps though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great around town, squeezes through gaps in traffic.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only time it lets me down is on steep hills over 50mph. Otherwise holds it's own up to 90 on m'ways. Easy parking in towns.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Compared to my last car, this has had no problems in 2 years of average use apart from bulbs and faulty throttle sensor when bought (fixed under warranty). Always starts 1st time.

    Who cares? I like to think I'm smart for buying a Ka when living in the city!

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good for tall people. Not much room in back. Small boot space, but has split rear seat.
