Purchased from new. Driver door was not aligned properly when I first picked the car up, had to be fixed at body repair shop.
Air conditioning and heating button both broken and had to be replaced.
Driver window would not wind down properly.
Engine Management System had to be re-tuned - engine over-revving therefore using too much petrol!
Cracking car - I love driving around in it, so much fun, quite zippy for a 1.6 and I think it handles well.
However, things I wish I had thought about before I bought it:
* 'Turning circle' on the steering very wide - makes parking tricky.
* Rear visibility bad when reversing - be careful!
* Car tax currently £190 per annum.
* Despite engine being re-tuned I am lucky if I get 200 miles out of a tank of petrol.
I have a Strretka ice 2006 and get about 300 miles to a tank of petrol my ka 1998 got 320miles to full tank and was a 1.3 engine.
I have had my streetka 6 months I get 380 miles on 1 tank of fuel granted I am commuting 120 miles a day driving on the motorway at 60 mph at 3000 rpm...ps I also find that the mileage drops if th roof is down.
