Handling: The Ka is light and nimble, with responsive steering that makes it very easy to maneuver in the city. It’s ideal for those looking for a compact and fun-to-drive city car.
Ride Comfort: Ride quality is on the firm side, but it’s generally comfortable for a car of its size. It can feel bouncy over bumps or rough surfaces.
Performance: While not a powerhouse, the Ka’s 1.2L engine is sufficient for daily commuting and city driving. However, it may feel underpowered when fully loaded or on highways.
Interior Space: The Ford Ka is compact inside, offering decent space for front passengers. However, rear seat space is cramped, and it’s best suited for smaller passengers or short trips.
