Nice cars, our lass has a french blue luxury one. She had a normal ka before and the street is miles better, has more weight and harder suspension so you dont feel like its going to fall over in a corner like the ka. Quite surprised with it tbh its a good car so far after 7 months. Shes averaging 36mpg aswell so its not bad on fuel. Shame about the tax being 135 for 6 months.

The Mrs had one for over a year and my sister had hers for about 3 years, both luxury ones.
Poor on fuel, slow, full of knocks and rattles, leak, expensive to tax, poorly built, springs snapped on both of them, typical Ford really.
Regardless they both loved them.

The 206cc is a big no no.
Like I say tax ain't a big deal and again speed isn't an issue. She's just going on it's looks and all I'm trying to do is make sure it's not a money pit.

206cc look awful in my opinion and being a 206 will be unreliable.

206cc's are shite tbh, had several in at work with sensors failing causing the roof not to open or close, rear axles going on them, general suspension components are chocolate on them as well. Overall they are horrendous cars

It's not exactly a hot hatch tho is it lol. It's built to do the same thing as a 1ltr corsa take the missus to the shops as cheap and cheerful as possible lol.
Anyways thanks for the input folks. It hasn't help at all

Can't think of many cars I hate more tbh.
Shitty Endura engine.. It was built before man invented the wheel.

The streetka has the brazilian 1.6 8v rocam engine, still shite though.
