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!

Nice review.
Do these have the 1.5din radios? If so have you gotta pic of it?

Needs an interior pic to show off the leather. Had a ka for a coutsey car once, was like driving a go-kart real fun
