Ford Ka 1.3i 

I've owned Ford Ka's for nearly 5 years, and I must say that I don't really have much bad to say about this little car. Despite being a 1.3 engine, this car really isn't as slow as you might think. Of course it's no speed demon, but will happily keep up with other cars on the motorway and doesn't make an awful noise like some small cars might when doing 80mph. It's light enough to accelerate at a good speed to make it out a roundabout but because of it's small engine and wonderful reliabilty is wonderful on insurance. I have found this to be brilliant on insurance, and doesn't cost much to keep either. Most importantly, in my opinion it's cheap to run on petrol too! Only faults that I can mention, is that sometimes the drivers side lock gets a bit stuck!
