Ford StreetKa (2003 - 2006) 1.6i Red 2d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Trendy, young, sporty.

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

They all love it! They think the red interior on black body looks amazing, and that its a rare sight on the roads and a bit different, which it is. Certainly better than the run of the mill Peugeot 206CC for similar price.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, definitely, if Ford had continued making them. Maybe a winter edition with hardtop!

What are you likely to buy next?

A 4 seater convertible maybe, like Astra or Focus convertible variants.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bargain! Was a genuine reason for sale, owner needed rid quickly so was reduced from the initial £2200 to £1750, but in the end she accepted my offer of 1500.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Decided last summer I wanted a convertible, and that it was to be a Streetka specifically as Ive always fancied one!

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Amazing! I have driven many cars and none even come close to how enjoyable this is to drive. Its so quick, it has a lovely growling note to the engine, has stiff but comfortable suspension and an amazingly slick gearchange.

What's it like to park?

Slightly more difficult than a normal car, as the plastic rear windscreen steams up easily so you have to rely on your mirrors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

So far, everything works perfectly, right down to the heated seats. Drives like a dream.

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot for such a tiny car, and very spacious inside due to no backseats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated seats and heated windscreen! also the fact that ours has a red leather interior :).
