Ford StreetKa (2003 - 2006) 1.6i Luxury 2d (2004/53) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

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

That its suits me, I have wanted one since they were first released and was found grinning my face of in one at the NEC motor show.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely, its a cute car! I love mine, it is dark green metallic (Envy), does leak, likes its fuel (but I've experienced worst) and it likes me :o)

What are you likely to buy next?

A yellow one, but after at least 10 years

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,400

When did you buy the car?

April 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think I got a good deal, I spent a lot of time shopping around. I already had a Ka2 so was prepared for the quirky interior and any issues to look for.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted it since it first came out, but waited until the price became reasonable

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Very nippy, especially uphill with a full boot. Likes to go fast, has nothing to do with me. Takes corners well, no overstear, and loves the motorway

What's it like to park?

Parking is a bit of an issue with the roof up, turning circle is restricted compared to the Ka, but once you get used to that, its fine.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope, no leaks at all (touch wood), heated seats work. leather is chilly but soon warms up. Lovely little car!

What's most practical about your car?

People moan about there being little storage, however try sitting in a Z3 or a kit car! I find there is plenty of storage to be found, for example, the boot is exceptionally big.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I especially like the cup holders in the door pods, very ingenious!
