1998 Ford Ka 1 review from UK and Ireland
"Low cost, low maintenance, high performance Ka!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem that I have had was after about 15 months of ownership. The brakes began to feel a little slack and didn't seem as responsive as normal. This was easily rectified with a free brake check at my local Ford dealer. I have had no problem since.
General comments?
I love my Ford Ka which I got when I was 18 years old on Ford's Options scheme. When my 2 year deal ended, I borrowed the money that I needed to buy my Ka. I borrowed a little extra too, so I could equip it with a CD player and over-sized alloys to add to its black bodywork, spoiler, aluminium gear knob & sporty harness pads.
The car is great for around town AND motorway driving and is so easy to park. I recommend the Ka to anyone who wants a cheap and reliable, tidy little car.
