1998 Ford Ka 2 1.3i from UK and Ireland
Faults:
Tyres needed changing around 25000 miles.
Brakes needed changing at 20000 miles.
Paint work (metallic finish) should be of a much better standard, tends to scratch very easily.
Seat belts tend to get entangled (stuck) between the drivers door and the seat on a regular basis.
General Comments:
This is easiest and safest car I have ever driven. It is a very reliable car and better built than most other small cars, feels solid.
It really sticks to the road, when pushed.
Braking system is very good.
Power assisted steering is very good and does not lose feeling, like some other cars.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Myself and my boyfriend both have KA's with unreliable rear wipers. I also have a problem with my boot release, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
