1998 Ford Ka 2 review from UK and Ireland
"If you fit in, it could be the only car you need"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty connection between the stereo and the speakers.
Fixed under warranty after some haggling!
General comments?
Handles well, but is still comfortable - but could do with more power and a higher fifth gear, it can be a bit noisy at high speed.
Seat might be a bit too high for tall drivers, even when on its lowest setting.
The engine can sound a bit gruff, but hasn't missed a beat so far.
