2001 Ford Ka 1 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Not as good as it looks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake squeal - bad on winter mornings.
Skids when going round roundabouts or braking down a hill.
Poor performance when the air con is on. Very dangerous.
General comments?
I wouldn't recommend a Ford at all. It is my first and last. I'd rather drive a Holden Astra or Renault Clio!
