2001 Ford Ka Millennium review from UK and Ireland

Rear wiper has an intermittent fault: sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

The air-con does soak up the power - I usually flip it off when going up hills if I need the power. However, either I'm getting used to this, or as the engine loosens up it's less of a problem. And the air con is great in warm weather or when de-misting in the wet.

The Millennium edition is based somewhere between the Ka2 and Ka3 in spec. Probably nearer the Ka3 although badged as a variant of the Ka Collection.

Its bright yellow colour attracts attention, especially from little children out with their parents who point and smile.

Interior is black leather and very comfortable, although taller people would find the seats a little short from front to back I think.

Rear room surprisingly good.

Front leg room excellent.

Interior styling fun and funky. Love the clock.

Wiper switch action a little non-standard: up for normal wipe action but down for intermittent so that to go from wipe to intermittent you have to go through "off" - confusing.

Hard to see the front of the car from the driving seat, but there is so little front that this is just not a problem. Same at the back.

Easy to park.
