2001 Ford Ka review from Australia and New Zealand
"Economical micro-machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was borrowing this car while my own Kia Rio was having and accident repair.
Overtaking on the highway is not an option.
At 6'3", I felt like an origami ogre stuffed into the claustrophobic confines of an avant garde tin can. Strictly a vehicle for those under 5'10".
Luggage space? What luggage space?
Noisy when pushed.
General comments?
Outstanding fuel economy.
Handling is fun and involving, unassisted steering a little rubbery.
The only thing easier to park would be a motorcycle.
