What you should pay for your next new car
Ford Ka Hatchback
What Car? rating - 3 out of 5
FOR  More fun to drive than the Fiat 500 it's based on and passably practical for a small car. Less chic than the Fiat, but not without charm.
AGAINST  Overpriced and under-equipped. There's a diesel for the first time, but it makes no economic sense with UK taxation
