That is the Fiat 1.2 FIRE engine, badged as a Ford engine. One of the best engines ever made in my opinion. Seen them do big mileage with so much abuse, when I worked at fiat some young girl brought a Punto in with oil light flickering. After driving 250 miles home she thought she ought to get it checked out. After putting 2.8L of oil in, (service fill was 3.2) she was on her way. No issues. 😅😮

Having been in the motor trade when the first Ford Ka (not K A) came out, I remember the advert at the time which said "get into the Ka" which rhymes with Ma or think of a posh person saying car. People in the trade have been saying K A for years which is why the general public have picked up on it but it was always meant to be a play on the word car.

@mikolv21 Жыл бұрын

It was many years ago now but this video reminded me, when I was looking for my first car, I went to view a first gen Ford KA. This thing was at the time 13-14 years old, was listed for £600, right up your alley this thing. Went to see it, this thing was brand new, it looked like the day it rolled off the production line, it had about 11k miles on the clock, full service history and receipts for each bulb, bolt and wiper blade it ever had, sold by its first owner. Really wish I could have bought it but I just didnt fit behind the wheel.

Its a brilliant little 2nd car. £40 to fill, £35 tax, low insurance. Gets me to work at Hazel Grove High, up to Etherow, Hayfield, Poynton, Sainsburys, Marple Tip, Teggs Nose, 2 kids football. Only had 5k on it when I took ownership, and only just done 16k now after 5 years. Serviced every year, cambelt done.

You know I had to look it up because of the pronunciation, because sometimes I can be such a pedant about how to say something. 10 minutes of searching, I finally found a commercial from Ford with how they pronounced it. Put nicely, Ford lost their minds when they came around to giving this automobile a name. Calling it Kay is fine, although the way you said it from previous comments was sort of a mangled. As it turns out, Ka is pronounced like a New Englander would in that the R get's dropped in words. So, instead of Kar, it's pronounced Kah. Wish I could remember where someone I met from the UK who was south of Birmingham heading for Oxford where he was dropping the harder R sound in words like most New Englanders. Said he never traveled to New England, and how he spoke was just natural to the region he was from. If anyone knows, that would be lovely.

As you thought, that generation of Ka is a less cute 500 and, if I'm not mistaken, was made in the same Polish factory. In fact the same facility as your Panda MJ and my last Panda MJ. It has the same engine and gearbox as my current Panda Easy, except mine has done less than half the mileage. I'm feeling pretty good about that.

it's not based on the fiat 500, it's based on the fiat panda. same engine line and chassis, different body. the fiat 500 came with some 1.0 turbo petrol engines, the KA and panda both came with 1.2L "fire" petrol (renamed duratec for ford) engines or 1.3 diesels. you could get aircon and radio with the edge if you paid extra for the "cool pack" optional extra.

The second gen Ka (we call it Ka - as in the Constrictor ! - here in Europe) was, according to the German equivalent of the JD Power survey, the No 1 most reliable car for most of its production run, beating even the Fiat 500 hands down ! Mine is now 12 years old, has done over 80000 miles and in all that time has only suffered from a cracked expansion tank, where the plastic is welded to an aluminium plate. My garage repaired it for about £150 - I could probably have done it for £50 but couldn't be bothered the hassle

They're crap but Matt wasn't going to replace a new set. Hope the new owner doesn't need to do an emergency stop. If you have to buy budget, Tomket is the least worst. But you'd improve braking enormously by going to the next level up and buying Kumho or Hankook.

I've gone through a couple of sets of Landsails on my mk4 Mondeo over the last 120000 miles I've put on it and they've been fine. They don't grip as well as the more premium tyre but I never felt unsafe with them, even during bad weather and winter months. They wore quite well and I'm not a slow driver (the car is also heavily modified) and I live in a town of high speed roundabouts. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in a pinch.
