Key strengths: Great little car
Areas for improvement: No probs so far...
Before I got this car, I was a bit worried due to some of the reviews I'd read! But I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE my Sportka!!
Mine's the SE version, so it has leather seats which are soo comfy! Inside I don't know how people get off saying it's small and the dash is tacky?! It's not AT all! The dash is like any other. I really like it! OK, it's probably not as good if you previously owned a Ferrari, but let's be honest, how many people who owned a Ferrari would then buy a Ka?!
Anyway, the seats are lush, and the cabin is plenty big, so that's 10/10 from me!
It handles lovely too! Nice steering; not too heavy, but not too light!
Outside is really nice too! The sport body kit gives it a sporty look, but still keeping it girly!
The engine!!! I read soooo many reviews saying the petrol consumption is really high, and you get low miles out of a full tank. Well that's a load of crap too! I've done almost 200 miles and still got a quarter of a tank left! That's just as good as my 1.25 Freestyle Fiesta, so I can't complain really! And the 1.6 engine is fast enough for me! In my Fiesta 5th gear just chugged along, but in the Ka it carries on going, pretty powerful!
Overall, I absolutely LOVE my Sportka!
