1998 Ford Ka 3 review from UK and Ireland
"What I wanted, but overpriced when I brought it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty air conditioning drain pipe that soaked the carpets.
Air circulation flaps failed. No problem to fix other than the labour charges (40% paid for by Ford).
General comments?
What I wanted and expected.
Aircon is very good.
MPG 43.7 motorway and A roads, 30,000 miles per year.
Could be quieter, active noise reduction.
