1997 Ford Ka 3 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight problem with the indicator ticking at double speed - very annoying. Otherwise no problems whatsoever.
It took 4 months to arrive from order date. No wonder they didn't sell well. It was almost impossible to get a test drive - and I live near Dagenham!
General comments?
Interior design is stunning and very comfortable. ABS was extra even though KA3 is top of range. Could do with more poke at higher speeds. Why oh why did they not use the 1.25 Zetec engine?
My husband refused to even consider buying one until I forced him to do a test drive. Now I can never get him out of it!
I love the way that other Ka drivers flash their lights and give way.
Well done Ford - other manufacturers take note and take the odd risk with design. Do something about your terrible dealers.
