yea, iv got a black 53plate and as with most theres a tiny bit of rust starting round the filler cap and rear wiper hole but other than that i love it. had focus's and escorts aswel but iv had more fun in the sport ka. its not exactly standard now but the only thing i'd say is get the se version. i picked mine up on 24k for £2500. bargin! nothing wrong with it. only thing i feel they need is stiffer springs and more power. but in all great little cars i know quite a few people that have had them and all loved them.
