Ford StreetKa (2003 - 2006) 1.6i Luxury 2d (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It's very girlie, and I'm a bloke, but still loved it. It's quirky and fun.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They loved it. It's cute. How could they not?!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. We sold it a few days ago simply because of imminent baby arrival - two seats not so good anymore. It was reliable, cheap to run and insure and always put a smile on your face.

What are you likely to buy next?

We replaced with a sensible family Focus. Yawn!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,000

When did you buy the car?

May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, dealer was happy to improve on the asking price and correct some minor issues we found before we did the deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted an affordable and easy to maintain soft top for summer fun.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly & helpful.

What's it like to drive?

I loved driving this car - precise, nippy, nimble, and immense fun.

What's it like to park?

Easypeasy with the roof down. All round visibility not so good with it up. But it's a tiny car so fits in most gaps.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Minor issues over two years - new battery, new brake hoses - but never actually let us down in terms of breakdown.

What's most practical about your car?

Enormous boot for such a tiny car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The soft top, when it's down!
