Economy
Value
I'm happy with the value of the streetka, the dealer worked out a great deal for me. Low apr over 3 years, cheaper than a loan or any other car company. Other similar alternatives are more pricey and not got the individuality of a streetka.
Costs
Used to own a Ka, haven't noticed much difference in petrol, just don't rag it! Can go about 300 miles on one tank. (tank of petrol just under £30) Servicing is cheap and a 3 year service deal can be added, ford parts are cheap and available the next day.

On the road
Driving
zippy little car that handles brialliantly. It loves cornering fast! Top speed about 122mph (so I've been told) great for cruising on the motorway or nippy around town. You won't be disappointed.
Performance
A smooth, quiet ride (even with the top down) and great acceleration for a 1.6i. Handles great at 70mph cruising along the motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Have had no problems with mine starts fine everytime.
Image
That's why I bought it!! Looks fab, especially when you're topless. Not much wind with the roof down, perceived mainly as a girly car-yeah maybe the pink ones bit of an oversight by Ford. A cracking car with Audi TT looks with a more reliable engine.
Comfort
The leather sports seats sit you down firmly so you don't get chucked around. Move them forwards, backwards, tilt or higher or lower for the perfect driving position. The heated seats keep your bum warm for winter topless driving and the air con is fab!

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobilisor as standard. Interior sensing for when the roof is down and armed. Alarm is a little quiet though. Low insurance group due to the security Thatcham 1.
Service
Went out of their way to help, didn't pressure sell!
