1997 Ford Ka 2 review from UK and Ireland
"92,000 miles in 2 years! Not bad!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension struts replaced under warranty after 3000 miles.
New clutch at 56000 miles (I used the car for driving instruction).
Carpets became baggy.
Some minor rusting/poor paint work.
General comments?
I loved my Ka and miss it very much.
My sister has just bought a 2001 model and it seem to have lost a bit of its character.
I replaced it with a 1.2 16 valve Fiesta which had a great engine, but was nowhere near as fun.
Mine was painted a colour called Electric Current even the paint was cool!!!
