A mechanic[should that be technician?]friend of mine returned yesterday from one of the many courses he attends with the news that Ford are going to kill off the Ka,and won't be replacing it.So this will leave the Fiesta as Fords small?car.Apparently it's said Ford are rationalising their range and there is no room for the Ka in their plans.Could it be that they've decided to knock it on the head because it's being out sold by the Fiat 500[same car,slight styling changes and different badges]?

[Webby the Bear]

Glad to see it go. They're shite! Well....I only have experience if the Mark I's. But the latest Ka looks shite so that's a good enough reason to drop it

[Kevin Wood]

It was a total munter of a car from day one. That they sold any is testimony to the fact that there are a minority for whom cars "aren't really their thing", who will go out and buy the first thing they see with a Ford badge on it because that's what they've always done.

Its a shame , i really liked those Ka's as well as the bug eyed Scorpio 

[pscocoa]

Ka did a great job for young drivers and elderly ladies - my 78 year old aunt has a W reg Ka - both still going strong and cheap to run. If I remember correctly Ford gave free insurance on these including 17 year olds - late 90's era.

Have you actually driven one Webby?

[Sir Tigger KC]

It's a change to see Ford doing something rational....

I've been driven in one. and worked on two. didn't really need to take the reigns to form an opinion. the second one I worked on (which was actually only a couple of weeks ago) was spewing oil......from virtually everywhere.

Don't get me wrong... i'm actually a ford man. we have a fusion. and touch wood its a great car.

I also like the scorpios...... even the bug eyed ones that TG always slam  similar to the omega in many ways.

Granada Scorpios were my ideal cars from 1980s and up to 2001 - had 4 I think.

my first experience was my mates in 2002. it was a G reg and when I say it had all the toys..... wow..... it would put bmw's to shame! EVERYTHING was electric. and I specifically remember the comfort of the big leather seats.
it was also mahoosive! even bigger than the mig. 3.0L iirc

lovely car!!!

I had one with electric rear seats - yes all the toys - with 2 kids and large dog the Hatchback version was unbeatable for those of us who did not want a clumpy looking estate.

The saloon always looked smart...

Had three, two dark grey, one dark blue. The K reg Cosworth Scorpio saloon in graphite that I had gives the Omega a good run in the 'Best car I ever had' list

[kevinp58]

Maybe they will bring back the scorpio or similar large car, I had 2 grandads a 92 2ltr twin cam ghia and one of the very last 2.9 IA scorpio's before the frog eye, it had everything even the 2ltr was a quick car for the size.

A what? is that a medical procedure? it certainly sounds like it.....   Had you said, Cortina, Capri, Escort or Corsaire then you would have earned great respect, but you didn't so........

Well I didn't want to say anything but I am officially part man, part woman. hence why I struggle with some of the tighter bolts sometimes
