It's a faultless car (Endura E engined at least) if you exclude the faults that are inherited and shared across the ford range (HCV, rear bushes, rot).

People forget that it was designed to be a light, low cost, reliable car. It does all of that and doesn't suffer from any of the issues that rivals do. Never hear of engine failure from the endura, handles well due to the fiesta chassis and light weight, insurance is cheap and the economy is great, especially considering wear and tear into running costs.

Slating a Ka is like supporting Man Utd. Most people do it without really having any justification or reason
