Ford Ka 2008

1 star review

I bought a brand new Ford Ka, the boot fills with water and there’s rust on the wings. Ford did not want to know, shame on them!

Ford Ka 1.3 Trend 2008

4 star review

The KA is a wonderful small car but suffers somewhat in the refinement stakes when compared to the Japanese offerings, but then it is cheap to service, insure and run. Ideal town car but not much good for the long distances in RSA from town to town. Very buzzy at high speed. Lights could be improved and front seats could be made more comfortable.

Ford Ka Zetec Climate 2008

4 star review

For starters Ford had a deal so the purchase price was £5995 OTR, very good when you consider this has ABS, PS, Climate, coloured bumpers/spoiler and all the accessories. Overall a very good little motor for the price though I wouldn’t pay full whack for it. Handling is exceptionally good with enough from the engine to make it fun. The finish/quality is not brilliant, especially when you think that Ford have made this model for 12 years now, I would expect all the fit and finish to be ironed out to perfection. Generally a good fun car that can easily put a smile on your face and would be very good for a first time driver as it is so sure footed. Have spent an extra £500 making it look right. This has taken the form of silver Ford stripes over the top, SportKa leather, colour coded instrument surround, eyebrows on the headlights, mudflaps all round and a different tailpipe. Why do all this? I prefer the original Ka shape to the SportKa but after many years in design I see things that just don’t look quite right. At the end of the day it still only cost me £6500 and people tend to walk past it that little bit slower to have a nose. Would I recommend a Ka to a friend. Yes. Expect to have a budget small car and you’ll be happy. If you want better build quality spend more on a Japanese motor and put up with the bland styling you’ll get.
