2009 Ford Ka Studio 1.2 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Awesome little car, much better than previous generation Ka
Faults:
Suspension noises, rumbling at rear, replaced rear shocks, also did the brakes all round (discs and pads).
Rear hatch struts weak and won't hold open.
Interior has serious wear, exterior is as good as new however.
General Comments:
Studio Ka is as basic as it gets, but is still a stylish little runabout. Has done me well as a used purchase the last few years.
1.2 is slow as expected, but does close to 50 mpg, which for petrol is as good as it gets.
Inside is cramped and a bit noisy at speed, but not a car you buy for comfort.
Very cheap to buy and run.
Not dated at all despite being over 10 years old, and worlds ahead of the old 1990's generation. No rust whatsoever! I will keep this car till it dies!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Later Ka's were much better than the old ones. I don't get anywhere near 50 mpg from my 1.2 petrol however, lucky if I get 42 mpg. My Ka is also on the rustier side now! You have done well to have a 2009 Ka still running well with no rust.
