As my car has such high running costs I'm thinking of getting a Ka as a cheap runabout. What I'd like to know is if they have any common problems/faults that I should be aware of. Also what sort of mileage per gallon do people get from theirs?

Thanks in advance.

 

Only had mine a few weeks so I couldn't really tell you. Try posting on www.myka.org , might get a better response

 

Thanks Chris

 

my brothers girlfriend got one and had it 4 years and she's had no problems with it at all

 

No running problems as far as I'm aware, mate of mine has had his for 4 1/2 years and never had a problem. Only thing is the obvious that it's small and only 4 seater.

 

I know that they are only a 4 seater, I have my scoob (sorry for swearing on here ) for when I need more space.

Thanks for the comments.

 

They eat arms,old ones rust just behind the doors.

 

Engines are nigh on bomb proof [as 10's of thousands of Anglia drivers would agree if they were still alive ]

They've started to do the Ford rotting thing now check sills and anywhere panels meet

 

I have one aswell, only had it a few months but it's the bomb.........i also have a fiat cinquecento aswell but we won't go into that.
Anway you could do ALOT worse than buying one mate.

 

engines are very good cus they are chain driven, as said before check for rust around the bottoms of doors and tailgate, A pillar, and where the door meets the rear quarter, also around the boot area. good luck !
