2000 Ford Ka 3 review from UK and Ireland
"Lively, brisk and sharp with good refinements on higher spec models"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The speed sensor on my previous Ford Ka 2 developed a fault and as a result, the engine timing became erratic, over-revving. Otherwise, a trouble-free history.
General comments?
I previously owned a Ford Ka 2, and when it came to choosing a new car, an obvious choice was the Ka 3, with a few extra bells and whistles like air-con and alloy wheels.
Ford Ka owners are probably all agreed on the fact that the power steering on the vehicles are second to none, and you find yourself whipping round tight corners and navigating the toughest bends with ease. After three years of driving a Ford Ka, I can say that they still retain their element of surprise, and they are fun to drive.
General opinion is that earlier 1996 models made in the UK aren't that great, so it's best to stick to the Spanish built Ka's for reliability.
