Rated very highly for safety, security,comfort, road handling and looks the Ford Ka is proving to be a very popular all round vehicle. Initially consumers were sceptical about its unusual appearance. However, it has remained a best seller since 1996 even among the guys... despite its "girly" looks! Perhaps it is the Ka's "spaceship" type looks that make it popular with the men? Fun to drive and much larger inside than it first appears the Ford Ka is extremely economic and responsive. The Ka is available with either a 1.3 or a 1.6 engine size. The Ford Ka owner will also benefit from low insurance groups. The Ford Ka can be relatively cheap to cover and ideal for young drivers trying to establish their credibility with insurers.
Drop the back seat down and you have a surprisingly spacious hatchback, which you would never imagine possible when you first see the exterior of the Ka. The Ka comes with a range of optional extras; colour coded bumpers, leather interior and alloy wheels. So the already fun Ka becomes incredibly funky too.
So despite the implications of this article title, the Ford Ka should be taken seriously and we will have to accept that consumers either love it or hate it.
