feels faster then this! surprised people @ southern meet with speed
Brilliant handling! would give alot of cars a good run for their money
Comfort: Not to bumpy and as standard comes with (as this is SE model): Leather, tints, a/c, cd player with ipod aux, heated front and rear screens, electric mirrors, rcl, front + rear fogs, remote boot release, pop out rear windows -
Reliability & Running Costs Has been bomb proof reliability - but running costs arent to brilliant due to old design of engine and low gearing!
Safety & Security: It's a ka! airbag and ford immobiliser but in a crash i can't imagine it's going to end well
Good Points: Good Looks, punchy torquey engine, good equipment levels, absolute joy to drive!
Bad Points: Low Gearing + lack of sound deadening makes motorways not ideal, rear access is cramped, 4 seater! - small boot - it's a ford - RUST!
Summary: Love the ka! people say its a girls car but they can bugger off! handling is immense and the equipment levels are more then generous! Engine is good if coarse and a bit thirsty - but the gearbox is insanely good
- obviously has drawbacks related to gearing and size of car but would recomend one!
