USED Ford Ka Streetka (96 - 09)

My car

Great fun! I've owned this car since June 04, when I bought it without even test driving it as I was on crutches at the time. I haven't been disappointed (other than in the British weather, which means I haven't had the top down as much as I'd like).

It runs with plenty of poke and a definitely licence-losing top speed even with only a 1600cc engine, as the car weighs so little.

The roof is easy to put up and down, air-con is efficient when you want to preserve your hairstyle and the equipment levels, including heated leather seats and six-CD auto changer are pretty impressive. The only thing missing I would have like to have seen is a heated front screen to go with the heated wing mirrors.

I recommend it highly for a fun, fairly cheap convertible.

My car

The car is still the old Ka with the same interior with very small leg room.

However it has very good space for 2 persons and is comfortable for both covering long distances. The boot is a very good size with enough space to store a suitcase.

The engine is performing well but is a little noisy when pushed. It's capable on the motorway. The roof is very easy to use. No leaks but noisy on the motorway - not much concern

The car shakes on the bumps and it is physically noticable. However the car is good in corners with nice steering feedback. A front set of mudflaps is highly recommended as the dirt reaches even on the side mirror. Without the flaps, it is very hard to keep the car clean.

It's cute, and makes me smile every time I see it. It's very easy to maintain and doesn't cost much.
