Hey, well i currently drive a mk2 xr2 fiesta and fancy getting something a little more modern. I have always liked the KA as it is a bit different and i think they have a lot of potential.
A KA with a puma engine or something is along the lines of what im thinking of,
so what do people think of the little cars????

I always remember years ago coming back from Great Yarmouth in my old Imprezza and one did me down a dual carriageway, Mine was standard 220 bhp but he left me ROFL.
Pulled up a few miles down to chat and he had a decent spec RS turbo lumpm a sound lad posts on here now and then. Always wonder when i see one haha.

Were doing a conversion to a KA soon which should be quite interesting for a track car
The only reason we considered a KA over a XR2 is there is less chance of any rust needing sorting which tbh takes up a lot of time when prepping the shell.
I'd stick to a NA engine though

If the price had of been right we would of had the pink KA but I think it went for £800 ish, VERY cheap IMO for such a new car
