The wife's got a 2008 ka. It's a right shit box but she loves it.

Don't think it will get through another mot mind. The filler cap is ready to fall in and the rear wipers been threatening to do the same since it was 4 years old. Sills are now well on the way as well.

Th above looks tidy.

We had one of these, I really liked ours.i thought it was good fun to drive. we had it from about 5 years old (there was rust on it then), kept it for about 4 years and over 40k miles.
we'd probably still have it now but we had to change it for a focus because we had a baby. it was just a shame about the rust problems they suffer from! they are also shockingly bad on fuel,

There are a few issues with it but easy enough to sort.

There a good car but as usual they can rust like fook.

The petrol cap area must rot from the inside out.
