I'm thinking of getting a ka for my daughter to learn to drive in so i can save the clutch on the scooby .
Is there anything to lookout for with these cars.

I had one many years ago as a loan car. Ranted the **** out of it (Like you do) It wasn't a bad little car once your sat in it!!! it's just the outside that lets it down.

Haven't heard of any problems, Ford isn't really that bad. They normally know how to screw cars together.

just chuck on a set of 18", full de-cat and rally style graphics and jobs a goodun

 

My Mum has had two of them, cheap to run and insure just right for somone starting out.
One word of warning, the second one she had had air con which when swiched on took up about 50% of the power

 

I had one once as a courtesy car, I liked the oval clock.....that was about it.

Probably ok for a learner/runaround.

 

You forgot chipped and lowered

 

One of the chaps in work has one for his wife for last 3 years and he swears by it, says its the best small car he has ever owned for maintenance and running cost. My neice also has one and she loves it, so far never had a problem, doesnt seem to badly screwed togethre.

 

My sister had her 51 reg 1.3 Ka as a first car and loved it shes had it for a year or so know and the only reason she is now looking to get rid is that she has a new job in bridgend and wants a diesel 206 sort of thing

ive driven it and generally cant knock it

 

i ended upside in a forest in one
we where in a rally

 

I think she's having a ka then.

i would look at a renault clio ncap is safer if you crash remember it is you daughter and cheap to ins and run

 

KA -pretty much bomb proof, change the sparkplugs immediatley, then yearly as they rust and shear off on removal, taper seat type, still easily removed but just a known good tip
