2001 Ford Ka Silver review from UK and Ireland

So far, I've been lucky with my little Silver. The only fault was the back bumper having been tightened too much thus causing a fault in the plastic moulding. This showed as a dent on the driver's side and almost gave me a heart attack when I saw it.

Other than that, the interior scratches too easily and there is a mark on the inside of the drivers door that won't come off no matter what I do.

I saw the car outside the main ford dealership while getting a replacement strap for the jack in my Fiesta Finesse. It had been ordered and then cancelled by a driving school, and was at a slightly reduced price.

The silver is a special edition model that sports a ton of extras including great leather seats, air con, CD player, Alloys etc and it is a beautiful little luxury model.

The car surprised me with it's handling and response, it's a great car to drive, handles like it's on rails and just begs to be driven hard. If this little girl can see off 1.6 astra's in it, then she's happy.

The trouble with the dealer actually came from Ford Credit. They were slow in cancelling the former credit agreement and this delayed my receiving the car. However, it hasn't put me off and the salesman actually talked to me rather than my father who accompanied me. This is the first salesman who has ever done that, and I have been into a lot of dealerships. Thanks Lee!

I love this car so much, and would recommend anyone looking for a cheap, but fun car to at least have a go. I'm already sure that whenever my little "Squall-Ka" goes, I will miss him dearly.
