Ford Ka (1996 - 2008) 1.3i Zetec (70ps) 3d (Climate) (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Fun! Without Doubt!

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

My friends think its a great little car and one have them has actually bought one after taking mine out for a spin! My family are less keen as they prefer bigger cars although the have admitted it is bundles of fun to drive!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes definitely! This is my 3rd. I have owned a BMW 3 series and found that more dull to drive than the Ford Ka.

What are you likely to buy next?

None until this dies (if it ever does!) then probably another Ford Ka!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,995

When did you buy the car?

June 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

I paid £2995 for my Ford Ka with 42,000 miles on the clock, I feel like a got a really good deal as the car is in showroom condition with full service history and all old MOT's and receipts for work that has been done. It only had one previous owner too!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Previously owning a 2001 Fiat Punto and working as a community support worker i needed a car with good reliability.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was very helpful and honest from the start he explained to me that the car has had work done to it in the past i.e Clutch, Oil Leak and other little things. He even taken the time to lift it on the ramps to show me the underneath of the car to prove there was no rust present. Plus he let me take it out for an hour test drive so i really could not grumble.

What's it like to drive?

This is the 3rd Ford Ka i have had now. It's an absolute pleasure to drive, the 1.3 zetec engine packs a bunch when used right and certainly puts a smile on my face when cornering! Uphills it pulls relatively well considering. The only really down side to the Ka is the engine noise when travelling at 70mph down the motor way (It can be rather loud).

What's it like to park?

To park it's an absolute dream. With great visibility and the fact you can turn it on a 10 pence piece makes parking easy!

Have you had any problems with the car?

No nothing at all yet! It's a brilliant little car!

What's most practical about your car?

Working in the community is expensive on fuel but this little thing runs forever between fuel stops! Plus it's extremely easy to park and surprisingly spacious too!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Has to be the standard stereo! It's brilliant speakers are sound and doesn't crackle at silly volume!
