If anyone's reading this right now (well, 8.34pm) watch Ch5 - they've got stuff about the Street Ka.

12 seconds 0-60 apparently!

The top is also totally manual! Yeugh...

Personally, I hate Fords, but wouldn't mind driving one for pure novelty value.....(while they're new and there's none on the roads!!!!)

I'm not a Ford fan either, but we had a Focus estate diesel thing at work and it was actually a very nice motor.

I am a true Ford hater, and hate the company mondeo to bits, but i drove a focus and found it disgustingly pleasant. No matter how hard i tried i coulnd hate it, so i just consoled myself with the fact that they're ugly!

Not as ugly as the 206CC

the only fords I drive are Transits - both old and new shape(the new shape one is still noisy as hell) and an iveco Turbo Daily pick up (take the best bits of a Ford Transit and throw them away). I briefly drove a Ka when my 306 got rear-ended and hated it. no power steering and a gutless engine.

Drove past a StreetKa in a Ford dealer the other day, and our son said "What's that squashed up convertible?"

They really are very small in the flesh. I thought they were longer than that.
