Also to know is, are Ford Ka reliable cars?
Owners have reported few problems to us about their Ford Kas, but the ones they have mentioned have cost quite a lot to sort out. Ford as a brand finished in 18th place out of 31 manufacturers in our most recent reliability survey.
Also Know, is a Ford Ka cheap to run? The Ka showed its age with relatively high running costs compared to the very latest class leaders. The 1.2-litre petrol engine meant the Ford Ka Mk2 was fairly economical and cheap to tax. Ford claimed 57.7mpg fuel economy, but again that trailed most competitors' official figures.
Also Know, is a Ford Ka a good first car?
Being the small, nimble, comfortable car that it is, the Ka is ideal for driving around town. Its reliability, plus the low price and running costs, make it a great choice for those looking for their first car. The pleasant amount of room in the cabin and fun driving experience mean it's good for days out too.
Why did Ford discontinue the Ka?
Ford is killing Ka+ and Ka+ Active sales in the UK in order to concentrate on more profitable cars. A Ford spokesperson told Parkers that while the Ka+ sales in the UK are 'adequate', it's not as profitable as some of the Blue Oval's big hitters such as the Fiesta and Focus.
