partyguinness's review of Ford Street Ka 1.6i

“I cant believe that they make cars like this.”

★★★☆☆

written by partyguinness on 27/06/2011

I now drive this car. Belongs to girlfriend. Sold my 2 litre BMW so perhaps I am not the best person to be reviewing this as pretty much every car is a let down after driving a 3 series for the last 10 years.

Problems are mounting up.

1. The switch to pop the roof no longer works;
2. Very heavy on petrol;
3. The drivers door handle has now broken. The passenger side broke last year;
4. Driving over 50mph and the engine feels like it will fall out;
5. Bushes have been replaced;
6. Plastic windscreen has cracked.
7. Wipers are flimsy;
8. Amazingly, there is no mechanism to pop the boot (or fuel cap) within the car itself. Must use the key.

Maybe these are normal for small cars!

Overall its a piece of rubbish but I guess if you only drive 5-7k per year around town and dont know any better then go for it.

ive got one too.....my problems are very similar....dodgy door handles.....my driver side broke last year.....the button for the roof no longer works......quite a noisy little car......alarm has a mind of it's own, heavy on petrol, plus the engine management light always comes on and off however it's always passed it's m.o.t. Bad celectrical connections obviously and very cheaply made. But it looks good and for a girl thats not doing lots of miles.....it's ok. But i wouldn't shout from the hill tops about it.
