Ford Ka 1.3i Collection 3d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Quite cheap to buy, but you get what you pay for. Interior poor and cheap looking.
Costs
Insurance low. Petrol consumption low. Spent nothing for a year so it's not all bad!

On the road
Driving
Holds the road well, but then I've never driven it in snow. Ideal for narrow streets. Easy to park. Bodywork easily chipped and dented and feel unsafe in it. Would stand little chance in an accident.
Performance
Engine too small, but once it gets going it zips along. Struggles uphill.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. Starts first time. No problems.
Image
If you want street cred. The KA is not for you. Quite a few of them about, but mostly driven by the older generation of which I will happily admit I am one.
Comfort
Seats ok, but long journeys can get painful. Not the best choice if you have long legs.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm. No immobiliser. No central locking, but then who would want to steal a KA?
Service
Didn't buy from Ford
