2003 Ford Ka review from UK and Ireland

After purchasing this KA only last Wednesday already things are going wrong.

The 1st thing I noticed was the drivers side had a little rattle, but over the last couple of days this rattle is now even bigger and its very annoying.

In the last couple of days other parts of the car have started to rattle such as the boot now seems to rattle a bit (or parcel shelf)

The biggest of my worries though is that its started to make a ticking sort of noise when I pull off or go into reverse, but it doesn't happen all the time, but does seem more frequent now, it seems to be after the car has been on for a little bit and has had time to warm up. anyone got any ideas on what it could be causing this?

I have booked it in to the ford garage and it will be going in on Thursday, lets see if they can fix it. I'm just glad its all still under warranty. you don't usually buy a car that's got 5 miles on the clock and expect things to start going wrong.

The car itself isn't the fastest I've drove. I did drive a mark 3 Ford Fiesta, but felt it was getting on a bit and I wanted something a little more reliable, but like I said previously this hasn't been very reliable for me yet.

But overall it is fun to drive, and will go 70mph fine and smooth. not much storage space. boot is an ample size unless you have a big family.
