1998 Ford Ka Ford review from UK and Ireland
"Gets old too young"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Break fluid leaks.
Shocks failing.
General comments?
This is a very useful car for city use, where parking is at a premium. It is a lovely little runabout with a low petrol consumption and general reliability.
However, parts are expensive and need to be replaced too early in the car's life.
