Ford Ka reviews

Got an old KA as my first car and it was a brilliant little thing. Wasn’t amazingly fast but what speedy for what it was. Had a big problem with rust but apart from that I love it.

Got it as a gift, the engine in there is brilliant, solid and reliable, shame I couldn't say the same about the bodywork for the others but mine has got 0 rust at all, it's only been welded twice but since then I've rustproofed the whole car. she's a good car to go places with

we bought this car to take my husband who is now disable and my son who has cystic fibrosis back and forward to hospital at 8 to 9 years old we thought we had a good reliable car now i have been told the entire rear sub-frame has rotted and some front parts are also rusted through including the oil sump pan (aren't they all the fiat parts ?) so faced with a £1500 bill on a car i am still paying for i am now faced with the fact that the repairs are not worth doing so i will be minus my car and still paying for it and cant afford another FORD have been far less than help-full even after being told by one of their own dealers that no sub-frame should rot out within that time and called it defective parts the rest of the car btw is fantastic but i implore you all to go check your sub-frames asap

having bought the car from a garage the car is practical all good rounder

For a car that is now six years old, I cannot fault the KA. It is comfortable enough for the journeys I normally do and the engine is not sluggish in any way. Great small car and only £30 road tax.

Lovely little car, I am extremely happy with, fits my way of life exactly.

I have had this orignal KA since new & it's a great little car. Easy to park, drives well, great for city life & looks good. So I do not understand the rationale for Ford deciding to change the design & make it bigger a few years ago. I will not be buying the new design, too big & unattractive.

i recently purchased this car, as ive just started to learn to drive, and was unable to practise in the family car due to engine size etc. this is a perfect size little car to be able to practise in. its a great fun, little car to drive. and i am looking forward to driving and owning this car for many years to come. :)

Purchased this Car from Lifestyle Europe in Tonbridge Kent. Very good service and the car is lovely.

My wife purchased the above car last week .After test driving and part exing her car .We drove the vehicle home. She is very well satisfied with it and the conduct of the transaction was good. Can recommend this site to friends .

Am really pleased with purchase. salesman was nice too

Good economical runner.

overall a very good car, however when we got it home we found that climate control only blows hot. a little job for our local garage.

Reliable, quick, easy to manoeuvre. Hard ride but stays online when pushed a little. More room than expected inside with a reasonable level of interior design. One problem, with short driver in family, they find the dashboard lights and indicator panel partially obscured.

Never let me down, nippy car, sufficient space although slightly cramped in the back, very economical with petrol and easy to park. Had from new and would consider same car when replacing my car.

This is my second KA - the first KA I used daily for 11 years and had very few problems or repairs required.

I bought this car as an ex demo 5 years ago. It has been absolutely fantastic. I've never had any problems. We leave it standing for weeks at a time whilst we visit our 2nd home in France but it has never not started or had any problem on our return. Its vey nippy and easy to park. Also very economical to run. I've travelled all over the country in it. Would certainly recommend to anyone

Although my KA is now 14 years old it never fails to amaze me! Nippy, reliable and surprisingly spacious, it starts first time in all weather and never lets me down. The price of a tank of fuel has risen: from around £30 some 7 years ago to around £40 today. I do mainly local trips; the longest each week being a 16 mile round trip. A tank of fuel will last therefore about a month. Pretty good ! The KA is a Ford and is historically reasonable to maintain and service and parts are readily available. I use an excellent local garage. On a personal note, i bought the car at a particularly difficult time in my family's life and it is associated with us moving forward. It has a name and because of its colour, is locally recognisable. I couldn't pull off a bank robber and get away unidentified! My previous car was a Toyota Rav 4. It was much newer and much bigger of course. I would not go back. I am very much a small car convert. My KA is like one of the family and i dread the day when it no longer runs. It will be black arm bands all round!

one of the best cars I have ever purchased, for low cost driving and tax only £3o a year.

i love my little car we use it as a second car but i much prefer to the renault scenic as it is so good in the winter.and it never lets me down in spite of its age.it is very economical.
