"Not bad would have another"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car has been very good nothing much has gone wrong with it. I think the best point of the car is it heater, WOW it get roasting hot just how I like it. It takes no time at all to warm up and is very powerfull. Another good point is you can trash the living daylights out of it and it still gos on and on...

Engine noise when at maximum revs is very loud.

Radio not much good has broken a few times and been fixed.

General comments?

I have had my Ka for almost two years now it is a company car so as you can imagine it has had a really hard life, and when I say hard I mean hard because I have to have a lot of heat in my car I thrash the life out of the thing when it is cold so I can get the heater nice and hot. I normally get off the drive and at the top of my road is a bus stop I tend to pull in there shivering and hold my foot to the floor and both hands on my vents it takes no longer than 5 minutes to get that little engine red hot. Then its maximum revs all the way to work oh and not forgetting my hot air on full blast too. and still the car gos on and on it got almost 42k on it now and still runs good. shorly I can't be the only girl who likes her heater as much as I do, and who warms her car up this way...jane.

Jane - hasn't anyone explained to you that the quickest way to warm up an engine is to drive it under load? ie driving along the road?

I can't believe you spend 5 minutes waiting for it to warm up - if you drove more normally it would be warm in half that time. Trust me, a) I'm a chartered engineer, b) my girlfriend owns a Ka, and they do warm up really quickly.
