    Those things are like karts with heaters... great fun, and naff all weight so a 1300 really does launch them... almost..... I enjoy driving my gf's, but the non PAS feels like the PAS system sans the pump

    This almost makes me want to buy a new car next year. 5.5K for a 1.3 engined mini car that actually looks good. Excellent.

    Very nice Tom, especially the colour

    Great thing about new cars is no rattles or niggles, just pleasurable driving. Though you'll miss out on the 'fun' of an older car...

    I am finding it really nice to drive, i can't really tell what an un-responsive car is tho cos i am still learning Loads of acceleration tho, or it certainly feels a lot

    um, quite nice but I would feel pretty unsafe in a ka. think about it, when you crash (and you are at massive risk) where does the engine go?

    better to be safe than sorry.

    at a guess id say the ka is a pretty safe car + you have the advantage of a smaller targer for ne1 wishing to smash it up
