Everything except the outer panels and interior, the KA is more 500 than the 500 KA though, in fact its practically a Fiat 500.

They share most things. Even the interior positioning of the controls. The KA had superior rear suspension initially, but the 500 caught up.

Think of the KA as the 500's boring, smelly sister.

Thank Fiat for that....I hate Fords..

Less airbags too, I think, and worse depreciation..

Is it now? It wasn't originally. The KA was more and less well equipped back then. Sure the price hikes have changed that though.

Well I doubt they'll charge the same or more a ford with windy windows than a Fiat with electric windows if comparing entry models.

Did the original mk2 KAs have manual windows? I'm sure someone at work has one with them.
