2000 Ford Ka review from Australia and New Zealand
"No complaints, would purchase again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basically nothing.
Have replaced sparks plugs and air cleaner at 50000km.
General comments?
Reliable, well made practical vehicle.
Has managed to cover all the basics at the right price ie. power steering, central locking, air con, tape deck and sunroof.
Handles nice and taunt, provided the tyre pressure is set up as per the owners manual (for 3 persons).
Cabin space is good with a luggage carrying capacity that would embarrass many larger cars. Some body drum that can be reduced by putting thin layers of high grade insulation in the boot area.
Performs better on 98 octane, and with fuel injector additive in petrol.
First car I have owned that does not leak around door and boot seals.
Only design fault is the spare wheel release system.
Difficult to locate the oil filter.
