    I finally managed to save £5500 to buy my first convertable. I chose the streetka as it represented great value for money, coupled with fords reliable reputation. That was 5 months ago and now I wish I never bought it. it is a 2005 with just 32,000 miles on the clock. It is now on its 4th alternator, and last week I had the computer replaced at at cost of £750. Be warned this car has represented nothing but problems for me.

    I've not had my Ford Street Ka 1.6i long and have always loved them so was well chuffed when i found one with good mileage and in my price range (after an accident that wasnt my fault - i thought i deserved a treat) had a normal KA before and loved it to bits and never any problems!However, street ka is a different matter - how long have you got??? Cant lock door with remote because the alarm goes off (and never stops), door handles stiff and hard to get out, lights on dash on constantly (abs & ...

    I love my Ford Street Ka 1.6i, it gives all the fun of a sports car without the price tag and running costs.

    LOVE IT! What can I say the weather can be cloudy but put the roof down and stick the heater on and get on that road! I've had MG's and I much prefer my Ford Street Ka 1.6i - but a little worried about what to do when I want to update cos the new ka is not looking as funky!

    When I was looking to buy a new car, I had been looking at second hand mini's. I'd always liked the streetkas also, my budget was around £5000, and I had found that if I went for a mini, I could get one for £5000 but with no extras - air con, cd player, leather, forget it. That was when I started looking at streetkas again, for the same price I got a metalic grey 2005 luxary model Ford Street Ka 1.6i with leather heated seats, air con, cd player, electric everything and - a convertab ...

    ive got a gorgeous grey ford street ka and i wouldnt change it for the world. i love the attention i get in it and im very proud to be driving it.
    i think its the best looking convertable on the road. ive had no problems with the car since i bought it.
    insurance was a lot cheaper than i thought as i have only been driving for 18 month.
    i would recoment this car to any1 and every1

    I wanted a a rag top after being away from them for a year or two. OK the 1995 MX5 i had is still the best, but the model is to old now and i am not keen on the new shape.

    Was looking for one when i saw a StreetKA, problem was every one you saw was either silver or THAT blue. Finally found mine in envy green (basically British Racing Green) with cream interior. loved it straight away as different.

    Yes i am a guy and No, i do not care what people think about it. it is low on insurance, high o ...

    I have had my 04 Ford Street Ka 1.6i since new. Absolutely love it. No leaks or other problems apart from unable to get in drivers door on sunny days, something seems to expand inside and door wont open. Very nippy. Bit high on fuel consumption though. As Ford are not making any more, or even a replacement, as far as I know, I will keep hold of it. Only done 25000 miles since new, hardly run in.

    I love my little Ford Street Ka 1.6i and wouldnt be tempted to think about swapping for a while to come. The cool air on the air-con doesnt work but who cares.....i take the roof off instead! Yes the handles are a little stiff but I keep them well oiled. The only 1 complaint i do have is that there is no boot release button inside the cab which is a real pain when your mother accidently shuts your keys in!!

    I have a met blue Ford Street Ka Luxury and I love it, when it's not broken.. My Cd changer has broken and as it's so expensive to repair I've had to take it out and put a MP3 cd player and buy a new fascia.

    The Ford Street Ka 1.6i is the best looking car ive ever had, and when its working i love it, but thats not very often...

    Ive had this car for 2years and the central locking has failed key fob broke, door handles both brock at the same time, so at this very moment i cannot even get into my car....

    The roof leaks, supsention dodgy, al in all this car is a bad buy...

    I brought my 04 Street Ka in Sept last year and I have had enough of it already! The only problem I've had which is driving me insane is that the alarm goes off whenever it feels like it! The annoying thing is - there is never any reason for it to go off.
    It has been back to Ford twice already and they claim there is nothing wrong with it. I am now sending it back to them to disconnect the alarm as i can't bear to hear it going off anymore (esp at 5am!!). Whilst it is fun to drive with the r ...

    I bought my StreetKA just over 2 years ago - and I have had nothing but trouble and expense.

    I had 3 Door handles break within 18 months, at one point both door handles broke at the same time and I was unable to even get into my car! Apparently according to Ford it was just a coincidence that this had happened - including the fact that the sales person at the garage had told me he had another StreetKA with the same problem??

    I have had to replace my thermostat, my starter motor, numerous amou ...

    I think it is a really cute car, and i love the heated leather seats. It does warm up very quickly and also the sound system is very good. All all in all I really love my blue street ka convertible and I am only 20 and am real proud to say i own a convertible.
    Deffinatly would buy another.

    If your thinking of buying a Ford Street Ka 1.6i dont! I bought one just a year old and after 2 months of having it the back window split right down the middle when I was putting the roof down. The drivers door had broke a number of times not being able to open the dorr from inside or out it this is a known problem with Street KA's. The seal around the door keeps coming off and the list goes on.

    the Ford Street Ka 1.6i will be the best car you ever own if you consider fun the number one priority.
    Very low initial cost, low maintenance cost.fun 2 seater with lots of trunk space.with the top down on a summer day it is the cutest car on the road.
