2005 Ford StreetKa Luxury review from UK and Ireland
"Smashing motor, love it, but costs a bit to run.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased from new. Driver door was not aligned properly when I first picked the car up, had to be fixed at body repair shop.
Air conditioning and heating button both broken and had to be replaced.
Driver window would not wind down properly.
Engine Management System had to be re-tuned - engine over-revving therefore using too much petrol!
General comments?
Cracking car - I love driving around in it, so much fun, quite zippy for a 1.6 and I think it handles well.
However, things I wish I had thought about before I bought it:
* 'Turning circle' on the steering very wide - makes parking tricky.
* Rear visibility bad when reversing - be careful!
* Car tax currently £190 per annum.
* Despite engine being re-tuned I am lucky if I get 200 miles out of a tank of petrol.
