2004 Ford Ka 1 1.3 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Good value for money
Faults:
Loud rattling noise developed when using the fans. Turned out to be a bottle top stuck in the cooling system. Apparently dropped in during manufacture.
General Comments:
Very nippy around town. Holds 70-75 ish up hills in 5th, but struggles to accelerate.
Rear legroom is a little restrictive on a longer run, but quite adequate for my 40 mile round trip, daily car sharing commute!
Seats 4 students with bags comfortably.
Excellent economy. Been getting a consistent 44mpg, but currently have roadworks and a 50 limit on my daily commute so it's up to 46 or 47.
Dealer basic service is over £100 for nothing. Rip off.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Is it the Ka's fault that its roof spoiler ripped off???
NO.
Its the Car washes fault. aerials spoilers etc get ripped off all the time in car washes.
And anyways, every1 know's you shouldn't put yer car in a car wash cos it sratches the paintwork. I certainly wouldn't do it, if I had a shiny new Ka with metallic paint.
