Ford Ka/Sportka

After 12 years, the Ka remains one of the top choices as a first car – and as you voted it 25th for running costs, that looks set to continue. So why has it fared so badly overall? Again, it’s down to the old design. Owners rated it bottom for comfort and braking, 99th for build and 99th for performance. Yet it did record 46th and 63rd placings for ride and handling.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Despite brilliant cars such as the Focus, Mondeo and S-MAX, you tell us that Fords are uncomfortable, slow and have poor brakes. Perhaps their showroom appeal just doesn’t last long.
