Hi guys!
Some git blocked me in outside my house so I just took my house mates care to go shopping. She has a 1.3 Duratec Ka. It's a 51 reg and has around 27,000 on the clock. Oh and it's not long had a full service. I couldn't believe how slow and loud it was. As being a very popular supermini, before I got in I expected it to quieter and slightly nippier than my Sei but I was very disappointed. It was loud and clicky under acceleration and felt precarious to drive. No power steering either. I expected it to be a 1.1. Couldn't believe it when I got back and she told me it was a 1.3. Now after speaking to another mate, I find they are all like this. Felt like my first car. G reg Fiesta popular plus with a different view.
Just goes to show brand image means more than quality to most people. As superminis go that I have driven, both the Corsa (old and new), the Yaris and the Sei (obviously) are leagues ahad of the KA.
Oh, and the indicators make a nasty cheap noise too!
