The FordKA, officially an icon for Ford. The Ka was introduced in 1996 and my girlfriend bought the 1998 KA1 model as her first car. It was obviously a 3-door model (the only option) but it was in a weird colour, it looked like brown, grey and silver mixed into one, but it was listed in the logbook as grey.
The KA was originally designed to only have black plastic bumpers so in the event of a minor crash they could easily and cheaply be replaced. This model has the black bumpers, but having done 72000miles upon purchase they had done a feint grey colour and although the black bumper/trim polish is easy and cheap to buy from Halfords or anywhere, I would recommend (if you can afford it) to buy a colour coded one as they just look better and don?t have to be repainted even if the car doesn?t need it- as the black ones do.

Advantages: looks, small, easy to use Disadvantages: space
I was bought this car when i passed my test. I have had my car for about two months and since then i have found the car to have good points about it and also some bas points.
Space: The fordKA is a small car but in the front i have found that it is enough space with myself in it but not with me and my boyfriend in it as his arm and legs is always in the way of me changing gears and the glovebox is well too small.
The back of the car is small but not as small as i heard it would be, i can fit my sons pram in the back also a baby car seat and still have some room.
The boot is okay is suppose i have had to buy a small pram to fit in the boot.
The car is small and easy to use as it is a doddle to park up, it is ok on the petrol and also the insurance is cheap for first time drivers.
The fordka brought my insurance down ...

Advantages: Great Stylish Little Runaround Disadvantages: very little bootspace
I have owned my little KA for just over a year now and i havnt looked back since. i am a 21 year old girl and i think that the ka is perfectly suited to any young woman.
the ka is small and light and is quite sporty looking from the front especialy if yu have the color coded bumpers. the ka collection 2002 comes with everything you could possible want. CD Placer, electric windows, color coded bumpers, power steering, and stylish looks.
insurance is low on the ka even though it boasts a 1.3i engine which considering the size and weight of the ka is more than adequate.
it is gread on petrol and i get nearly 100miles from 15pounds a week out of mine, tax is also cheap for this little car.
despite looking small and dinky from the outside there is a lot of space in the ka, also the dash is all moulded and rounded and looks very stylish ...
