Used Ford Ka Streetka 2003-2005 reliability

Fresh-air driving and fine handling don't come much cheaper
What should I look for in a used Ford Streetka sports?
Parts are not expensive for the Streetka, but make sure the hood is in good condition before you buy, and be careful where you park in case of vandalism, because the hood is costly to replace.
By far the biggest problem is the suspension, but don't panic, because the vast majority of this is down to careless owners clipping kerbs and bashing the wheels out of alignment.
Beyond that, the Streetka has no major problems. Its manually operated roof is very reliable, and, unlike the owners of some folding metal-roof convertibles, Streetka owners have no worries about getting wet if the roof fails.
Just be sure the interior is unmarked by water damage, as it's not too uncommon for a car to be left with the roof down in a thunderstorm. Once it's wet, the interior is very difficult to dry out completely.
