  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    5 years on, it still looks fresh from the day it left the production line.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cheap insurance and cheap parts. One of the main factors I considered when I was looking for a new car.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Extremely enjoyable, plus it puts a smile on your face!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nimble and nippy. Great for town driving and that odd occasion on the motorway. However, with air con fitted, it can make the engine slow and harder to pull.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    So far the only problem I have had with my Ka is a flat tyre, and it only cost me £35 to fix. No other problems.

    Cheeky, fun and stylish. Ok, it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's certainly different from other little cars.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Would be good with adjustable steering as I'm 6ft, but apart from that fine. Head room is good and it's larger than you think inside.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Has an immobiliser fitted as standard, but an alarm would be an advantage too.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The dealership I bought my car from has been very friendly and the service is extremely good.
