Advantages: Fun to drive. VERY distinctive looks. Good handling. A very practical and easy to drive car. Disadvantages: Not a lot of extras. A "girly" image. restricted choice of engines and specifications.
~ ~ The hire car I booked for our recent family trip to Rome was the new model Fiat Punto. But I wasn’t too perturbed when the car hire company offered me a Ford Ka instead. I’d been intending to have a drive in a wee Ka for ages, and was supposed to have one booked on a short trip to Scotland last year, but on that occasion the hire company pawned me off with a Peugeot 106 instead. (That DID perturb me, ‘cos it was/is a crap motor car!)
~ ~ The Ka has been a best seller for Ford ever since it first hit the streets back in 1996, so it has to have something going for it, apart from its funky looks.
It’s a car that has never been a rave hit with the motoring press and pundits, but despite the somewhat poor reviews from the self-appointed experts, the motoring public voted with their wallets. (and purses) Even ...

Advantages: Great economy, luxury trim, cute car Disadvantages: A bit slow
I wanted Mrs mfhome to get an MGF or something more "fun" but I wasn't too worried when she decided on a Ford Ka, I'd always liked the styling and her choice of the luxury model meant that I would have all the extras to play with too.
The Ka has been a popular little motor since 1996, ours is the Luxury model which we bought new on 51 plates in 2001. The car had great looks with its colour coded bumpers and mirrors, alloy wheels and metallic paint - I think these features are extra cost options on the other models. I don't suppose that they're necessary on this car as it looks good in standard trim. However, given a free choice between a car that is colour coded and one that is not I prefer the colour coded.
The car's motor mechanics are based on some of Fords older models; frankly I have found the performance disappointing. Mrs ...

Advantages: fun to drive, cheap insurance, low cost driving Disadvantages: not much legroom in the back
read dials, illuminous clock, heated rear window, cup holders, split rear seats, group 2 insurance, and it only costs me about £25 to fill it up with petrol.
CENTRAL LOCKING
Very usefull, you only have to unlock one door and the other one opens with it. The key has a chip on it that your KA recognises, if another key is used then your immobaliser kicks in, thus not allowing your car to start. You do still have to unlock your boot with the key separately from the doors.
AIR BAG
The KA2 only has one air bag on the drivers side. Ford might like to think about the passenger as well, although they do have a cute little glove box in front of them!
STEREO
Nice stereo on which you can pre-programme your favourite radio shows. Only cassette player but you can get an upgrade to a c.d player. The stereo has lovely ...
