    This is not true.

    There are far, far worse handling cars than the KA.

    A friend of mine has regular access to a Ka, when she's not taking the Nissan anywhere, and whilst the base spec 1.0 (Its either 1.0, or 1.1) is hideously underpowered, its quite good fun to chuck around.

    It's a 1.3, but a very old 1.3.

    I stand corrected.

    Hmm 69bhp, coupled with 78 lb-ft of torque, when new I wonder what the actual figures are now after 12 years of abuse!

    Man up fer gawds sake, get in it, listen to some hairy chested rock, eat raw red meat and pretend to be Clarkson for a bit.
    :mrmgreen:

    As a side note, i came close to a very sticky moment today in a customers Octy vRS, lovely sweeping roads, pushing on a bit, downhill unsighted hairpin and oh, bugger, theres an upside down Tesco home delivery van across the whole road...

    Yeah, seriously, the more I read this thread the more I just don't understand .

    You had a massive 6L V12 engine in front of you, huge rear tires behind you and a bloody gorgeous body surrounding you, so you said no?!

    I know... it's one of the most beautiful things in the world... one of my favourite ever cars... but until I sat in one, I never realised how intimidating it could be, when you know you can't afford the smallest bit of plastic on it if you broke it. I'm just going to cry in a corner somewhere. /boohoo

    If Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie ever come round for a threesome mate, or you single handedly save an entire New York city block from terrorists after walking over broken glass, you might just get your man rights back, until then......
