Ford Ka
Ford started producing the cartoonishly named “Ka” in 1996 and noted it should be pronounced like “cat.” The compact car was produced on the same platform as the Ford Fiesta but offered better design and styling.
The design offered better durability and easier repairs because of its large, one-piece molded bumpers and wheel arches. The public was initially not thrilled with its new age design, but the motoring press noted it had good handling and cornering, and good grip levels due to its suspension and steering.
In the United Kingdom, the Ka has been a best-selling model for years. A luxury model with leather seats and standard air conditioning was also offered, as well as a sports model. The Ka has proved popular in England and was manufactured up until 2016.
