Ford Ka 2000

4 star review

I bought this car as my first car. It’s a great little run about for a girl. Mine has fabulous seat interior and the speakers are very loud, which is awesome. I have been driving for 5years now and still have my ka!! Never failed on me and I’m sure i’ll have it a lot longer. I recommend it to anyone! :)

Ford Ka 2000

5 star review

I bought my KA in January from a local auction for £580. 82k on the clock 2 previous female owners and black. It needed about £200 worth of work doing to it such as, drivers window wouldn’t open, speedometer didn’t work, mileage gauge had stopped working, and the heating didn’t work. The milage needed a part that was £80 so that’s what most of the money was on. Eventually after the snow had cleared we took it out (at this time I was still a ’learner’!) Aside from no heating it was wonderful. We had a seriously cold winter and it started perfectly first time everytime. I decided to do my driving test in it as I found it far more easier to drive than a 2009 Ford Fiesta...It was brilliant. Since January I have done 4,000 miles and not one problem touch wood. Garage said it was in very good nick mechanically and inside it was like new. MOT in march was fine except needed a bit of welding doing underneath. Excellent car and would recommend it to anyone.

Ford Ka 1.3 2000

2 star review

I purchased a "W" 2000 Ka, one previous owner with full main dealer service history, 40k on he clock, taxed with 9months MOT, 4xnew tyres and back box for £1500 for my daughter as her 1st car. She loves it. Handles like a go-kart and starts 1st time, every time. Then we put it in for an MOT: £500 required, Rust, broken front coil, faulty steering rack with an advisory for front discs and pads. Google Ford Ka problems and read the endless list. Ford should hold their heads in shame. The distress of seeing your daughter crying her heart out because we’d bought a lemon was heartbreaking. I picked up the tab but won’t be buying Ford again!

Ford Ka 2000

2 star review

I bought a W reg KA recently and while I like its good handling, excellent gearbox and lively engine there are somethings I distinctly don’t like. 1/ I find the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal too close together which can mean you hit both pedals by mistake which could have lethal consequences. The accelerator should be further to the right but I think the "curves everywhere design" doesn’t allow this. 2/ Changing a headlight bulb is a nightmare and a mechanic even has extreme difficulty. The normal person will find it impossible (I kid you not). 3/ The "curves everywhere" design may look cute from the outside but prevents accessories having a flat surface to mount on. Map compartments are inadequate. The hidden "glove compartment" is ridiculous). 4/ The floor seems to have little indents suitable for nothing except perhaps putting a can of coke in. 5/ The horn is very insensitive and has to be pressed hard to work. Not what is required when you have a myopic old lady coming at you on the wrong side of the road which happened to me in Colchester. 6/ According to the previous owners service notes the brakes were getting too hot and it has now failed the MOT on every aspect of braking including the handbreak. 7/ The doors open and lock in a peculiar way which I suppose has the virtue of fooling an opportunist thief. 8/ Don’t forget to make sure you have a key for the lock nuts on the wheels and bring it with you every trip or it could be expensive if you get a puncture miles from home. This is my first Ford and I think they should know better as they have been building budget cars longer than everyone else. Ford should realise that cute design has its place but not at the expense of practicality and safety.
