2001 Ford Ka Collection review from UK and Ireland
"A good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator connection.
General comments?
I love my Ford KA. I recently passed my driving test and can honestly say that my KA is so easy to drive.
The car is stereotyped to be a girly car, but after seeing mine, many of my male friends have decided to purchase a Ka.
They are very easy to repair, service, insure and tax. It is a very good first car.
The interior of a Ka is very comfortable. I am quite a petite person, therefore when I drive I have my chair quite far forward; this creates more leg room in the back.
There are many KAs that show corrosion, this may be because the owners simply don't take care of them. I was advised by my dealer to maintain and look after my car so it doesn't depreciate too much in value. I wash my Ka every week and put a good coat of wax on it to protect it corroding.
My indicator connection as become loose, resulting in the reliability of my front right indicator to decrease. This is a common fault and takes minutes to repair.
