1997 Ford Ka review from UK and Ireland
"For a cheap Ford it's a nice looking car to suite anyone!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New brake pads and disks at 60k service.
Engine always revs on when it feels like it.
Engine now stalls when changing down to slow down (hopefully fixing now).
General comments?
Car not very quick, but I never expected it to be it's a ford ka.
Bit worried about engine electronics being dodgey, hope garage fixes it.
Changed to 15" alloy wheels, looks much better and handels much more fun. Although the handeling was good before and now rubs when parking (small price).
Changed headlights to brighter ones, good idea!
Changed stereo straight away, vital!
Small faults for a lovely little car, engine electronics a bit dodgey, but is is a Ford.
Would not swap it for anything, love it becasue its different!
