2000 Ford Ka Luxury review from UK and Ireland
"A Jaguar want to be Rip off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leather seats began to show heavy wear. Cold January mornings meant trouble stating.
Gear stick broken.
Won't go out of 3rd gear on damp morning
Sometimes stalls at traffic lights.
Usually starts after a couple of seconds of the engine turning over.
Once left for a month and battery went flat.
Air con lowers performance.
Cam shaft drive belt broke in second year.
Exhaust problems
No problems recently.
General comments?
This car sticks to the road when thrown round bends.
Will do 100mph, but bad to keep it up.
80-90 mph very addictive.
Fifth gear difficult to get into. Sometimes slips into third.
Comfortable little car.
Gets people looking.
Nice CD player.
Nice silver.
Good factory alloys.
