They think it's OK. A bit small.

Buying experience

Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£12,000
When did you buy the car?
June 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
Not really! I live in an overseas region where importation duties and local tax conspire to add £2000 to the price. Would have been the same for any other new car.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always wanted a Ka. Liked it when I did a test drive, and Ford has a good reputation for mechanical reliability.
What was the dealer like?
Fine. He wasn't too pushy- I wasn't put off.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's great to drive. The steering is very accurate, the gear change is quick and easy and the diesel engine is really smooth.
What's it like to park?
A doddle.

It has doors. To be honest, nothing springs to mind here.
