1997 Ford Ka reviews

Ford Ka 1997

I bought my 1997 1.3 Ka for a mere £450, it was extremely cheap and it was to suit me perfectly with my money income being low. I thought that the car would only last a couple of months before it would need replacing, but I’ve had the Ka for 6 months now, I’ve been travelling at least 20 miles a day and its still in full working order, it just wants to keep going. The fuel consumption is excellent, it takes only£30 to fill and can get around 300 miles out of it, it doesn’t have many luxury features but it still handles very well and I have found that it can squeeze into the smallest of spaces. When people look at it from the outside it may throw them off but when in the car it’s amazing how much room there is, with any 3 door car the back seats are cramped up but I sit nearly all the way back in the drivers seat and there’s still plenty of room in the back. I think the perception of the Ka being a girls car is nonsense, since buying mine I’ve noticed a few of the local lads investing in them. I think men are just scared what people will think of them if they drove one. Overall I would strongly recommend the Ka to people on a low income or first time drivers, they are BRILLIANT!
