1999 Ford Ka 3 review from UK and Ireland
"A surprisingly fun and attractive little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apart from a three month wait for one painted "Panther Black", nothing so far.
General comments?
My wife chose this car after the MG failed its MOT. I wasn't too keen to begin with but have been pleasantly surprised by its performance and comfort and now she doesn't often get a chance to drive it herself. The MPG is not as good as expected although still reasonable and, when on, the aircon makes a significant difference to the performance. Don't try to get a suitcase in the boot.
A great little car overall.
