1998 Ford Ka collection review from UK and Ireland
"Cute and dainty, not for the fierce"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Strange knocking noise from the front left side, turned out to be a screw that needed tightening, but was very dangerous. If you hear any knocking, please get it check at a garage.
Leaking right hand front door.
(not severe)
Leaking boot.
(not severe)
However, all of the above faults have probably come with age. The car is almost 7 years old.
General comments?
Very nice looking car.
Very nice to drive.
Fairly reliable, although if you are planning on buying one, I would go with a brand new one.
