Absolutely correct, couldn't agree more. I own the Ford KA Edge, had it for over 3 years and no issues. 30 pound a year tax and reasonable insurance costs makes this a no brainer.
Love my Ford KA. Cheap insurance and tax, fun to drive and enjoy the quirky design of the interior and exterior. I have the Zetec, so have alloys and A/C, plus heated windscreen. Mine also has the upgraded fan vents, and white glossy interior pieces, rather than cream.
I have the diesel of this car and had it for 6/7 yrs, and its a great little car, just a pitty Ford didn't have different engine to chose from as the same as the Fiat 500
Love mine. Its seriously underpowered but holds the road well. I enjoy sucking tailgating Audis, BMWs etc into the local bends and watching them panic brake in my mirrors. They never learn.
What's wrong with taking bits from the best? As long as its done well. In this case the KA's steering is one-up of the 500. Not many manufacturers are 100% original these days, even the top brands.
yep the older fiesta was a mazda, the mondeo was the basis for a jaguar for a while, citroen,peugoet and toyota make a car between them. in the end it makes a better car as each has ideas and they use the best
yep spot on ^ most similar car is the vaux corsa, same price, the VW up which is a much cheaper car still sells for about the same price, same as a C1 etc
I just got rid of a 2012 ka studio. It had 50 thousand on it and i did 12 thousand on it over 18 months and thw gear box bearings went in it and they wanted 1000 euro to fix it. Its a badly built car
My mom owned a Ka when I was eleven. Pretty cute little car. It was the ony car which didn't have a glove compartment I had ever seen. Also, too cramped inside. My cousin also has one. It's really a girl's car.
@@juliebaxter3564 nothing sexist here, it's only about size. Females are smaller than males in general and the ka is a rather small vehicle, better suited for small individuals.
Since Im in America I had no idea Ford anything smaller than the Fiesta. I almost bought the Fiesta but it felt too cramped for me (and I'm a small guy) so I bought the Focus hatchback. I can only imagine how cramped the Ka would be.
the KA is very much a european car, its larger inside than say the orig mini, and the american fiesta isnt the same as the UK fiesta anyway, we like our cars different, our roads are much narrower
I couldn't disagree more. I have a 2015 1,2 Trend and I find it spaceous enough. And I'm a big guy at 6 foot 1, 280lbs. But I'm european perhaps we don't need as much space lol.
+Duck Man That's strange, I've had three of these now, 2010 did 44000 miles, then a 62 plate and did over 100,000 miles without a single issue and just got a zetec which is an absolute pleasure, maybe you just had a faulty gear box.
+ Bat man,Duck man is correct,, the gearbox is rubbish on these,my KA gearbox was rebuilt by previous after 50,000mls ,i couldnt believe it until he showed me the invoice
Had my Ka Edge for nine years from new, no rust, excellent fuel economy, good boot, polishes up like new, handling is good. So glad we bought ours.
I've got the KA studio 2013, had it over a year, no problems, reliable car, and cheap tax and cheap insurance, what more does a driver want👍

I actually bought a Ford KA for my first can today
I bought a Pepsi max for my first can.
congrats for your 1st car 🥰.
how is it so far ?
It's is cool?
I have this a like as soon as you said Zetec was your fave as that's the one I've got.
I LOVE this car!!!
Thinking of upgrading from my sinclair c5 to a ford ka.
Either thats a tiny car or one big ass road.
Love mine. Its seriously underpowered but holds the road well. I enjoy sucking tailgating Audis, BMWs etc into the local bends and watching them panic brake in my mirrors. They never learn.
this model is different from the model that was sold in Brazil in the second generation, our Ka is already in the third generation
Do the backseat drivers have windows that can be opened??
I miss this moderator on What Car, why did you let her go?

Got a 2004 ka and getting a 2016 one
dont
such helpful advice ^ not
Is this new model really bigger than the old model?
yes, a little bit
but its so cheap to insure it's worth it for younger drivers.
relatively high price compared to what? I just spent a few weeks comparing cars this size and they're all more or less the same...

“The Ford should be reliable as it shares most of its parts with the Fiat Panda”
When the fuck did you think you would ever hear that hahahahhha
Driver in the left side? In the English way? I´m confused!
Fiat or ford
I choose ford
what a crappy review

or you bought a lemon...

thats the OLD version, this is a totally new version, has a glove box too, many cars didnt have glove box, the mini for example
Rather sexist remark there.
