2003 Ford StreetKa Luxury review from UK and Ireland

Very little has gone wrong with the car so far. The general drive is sublime and the only complaints I have are 1) The paint is a complete pain to keep clean and 2) the driver's side seatbelt is a pain to use.

Due to the angle of the belt, you need to pull it straight out and release it so that the whole thing will return properly, even then sometimes it will tangle and fold as it feeds in.

The dealer I took it to for a service seemed to ignore all my comments and requests (Reg Vardy). I may be female, but I know my way around cars and I don't appreciate being treated like an air headed bimbo because I have cleavage. I plan on having my car serviced elsewhere in future.

The wear on the seats is negligible, the leather seems to stretch a little along the sides, but with leather balm applied regularly, there's nothing wrong with that and it just gives my baby a little more character.

I love this car. I can't get enough of driving it and in the summer, when you have the top down and the music turned up, people don't just turn their heads to get a second look, they go for third and fourth looks. Not as fun as the normal ka for handling, but even so, I pull away quick, throw it into corners and generally thrash the hell out of it and he loves every second.

Even my dad loves driving my little Leon.

Worth every single penny, and I'd say I wanted more power, but if I had it, I'd probably end up killing myself.

Even so, if I was in this car, I'd die happy.
