Ford Ka 1.3i 3d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
So-so value, cheap but basic.
Costs
Fuel consumption at around 40mpg is nothing special considering the low power output and low weight of the car.
-
On the road
Driving
The reason I bought this car was due to it's reputation for being a good handler - which I found to be the case.
Performance
Adequate for a car of this type.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Started each time. Rain leaks around door seals on a 2 year old car, very poor. Poor build quality, rust appearing.
Image
OK,not too bad, not too good.
Comfort
Utterly diabolical. The shape of the seats induced backache so severe that I thought I was going to be permanently injured. I sold mine; back ache gone!

Security
Nothing special.

Usual daft dealer prices.
