In India Ka+ Active launched with the branding of ford freestyle and comes with 6 airbags and great build quality that no other manufacture offers in this price range.
I love how you guys review all types of cars with the same enthusiasm! I do remember, many years ago, when I drove a small Transit Connect. In the summertime the rubber floor (the entire surface - just not the mats) stank like hell, but onyl when the car was hot. Some chemical rubberish smell.
I bought in 2019 a Ka+ and I am very satisfied with it. The 1,2 86 PS motor is more more economical then the 1,0 Fiesta Turbo motors and I am surprised it works good on any driving conditions, I made in 4 years 41 000 km-s on any type of roads on german speedways beetwean 120-160 km/h and the fuel consumption is not more than 6,8L/100Km fuel. I know it is not an Audi TT but for me is ok. Thanks for the comparision.
Definetely ford fiesta is prettier, but for me the biggest factor of choosing a car is what you can afford to spend, and what you get for that money. So I looking forward for your driving review of each model, in which you will tell us real fuel consumptions, driving behavior and market prices.
I remember when the Ford Ka mk1 was a great design, still undated today. Now the Ka is just a old Fiesta in a new body shell of no distinction, which is a shame.
The Ka+ reminds me of the Dacia Sandero Stepway. I think put a little bit more money in your hand and buy the Fiesta, or I can buy for the price of a new Ka+ a better used car on the aftersale market.
The Ka is a prime example of "Character Murder". Once a cult car, it now is just an expendable, forgettable and plainly a generic car just to suit their global strategy. Sad. An Active Trim won't make the difference.
Hi Thomas! I own a MY2017 Fiesta 'Passive' so I was interested in your static review (brilliant, BTW!). Question: Will the Fiesta Active come in a 3-door version?
I'd choose the modern new Fiesta over the Ka any day; the Fiesta is a much nicer fun driving (and looking) small car... If you're after a cheap car or have little money, I guess look to a 2nd-hand car or the cheapest car! Really great professional Review, thank you Thomas.
... Glad to cause a chuckle. Yes, Gordon - that's an excellent point. With a budget in mind, I've tended to favour a quality 'snotter' that has lost most of its value but has most of its worth remaining, as the new option has often meant a car that was too small for purpose or poor quality or a tad embarrassing to be seen in (and sometimes all three). Of course, it was best to combine this decision with realistic budgeting for any age/mileage-related repairs at a trustworthy independent garage. Thankfully, new budget cars are far better nowadays, bringing the pros and cons of each ethos closer together. Cheers!
I like a good looking car. the Ka+ active isn't the best looking one out there, but if you put aesthetics to one side, practicality and safety surely are more important than looks. Sadly, this car is let down badly by the engines. Stick a torquey petrol turbo + 6 speed box in it. Vauxhall make a good one....!
thank you so much for this video autogefuhl..its the only ford fiesta active review on youtube
John Machage that's true lol

yeah that could be from the rubber floor mats indeed
Such a professional, and well edited review. Many thanks.
cheers, feel free to recommend! :)
Hi Thomas. Thanks for this review. Ford have finally added full LED headlights to the Fiesta.
Did they put LED headlights in the Fiesta?
Yes. 750€ option in germany.

I think it’s a very interesting idea which was tried on the VW Polo Cross a few years back for the Left hand drive market.
That Fiesta is not only better looking than the Ka+, but I think it's nicer than the Ecosport too. I'm sure it drives better and is cheaper as well.

How about the mini cooper s 5 doors and mini cooper johny walker review n test drive also please
KA+ definitely!

I'd take the Ka+ .....can it be had with 2 doors ?
Havent heard of that
Please also a review for Fiesta ST and please ask about new Focus engine choices if you can find someone thanks a lot :)
Will do! Seen our fiesta st line review?
Autogefühl Yes Of course I never miss your amazing videos :)
For UK The Focus is expected to have 1 litre ecoboost - 99, 123 or 138 BHP and 1.5 diesel - 84 or 118 BHP and a 2 litre diesel
Jez Stokes I m not living in USA but thanks for the info..

the ka roadster was beautiful
Hi Thomas! I own a MY2017 Fiesta 'Passive' so I was interested in your static review (brilliant, BTW!). Question: Will the Fiesta Active come in a 3-door version?
haha Fiesta passive =)
Hmm good question, afaik the Fiesta is available as 3 door in every version
A 3-door Active would be appealing; we'll wait and see what Uncle Henry brings us.Thanks, T. and the team!

Hallo,
Könntet ihr, falls möglich die LED-Scheinwerfer vom Fiesta zeigen?
Das muessten die sein. Ansonsten: ua-cam.com/video/U9SOmNqhUX0/v-deo.html
