Ford Ka 1.2.
80+bhp. Not enough to pull the skin off a rice pudding. Won’t do a ton even if pushed off a cliff. Never going to win any traffic light Grand Prix starts. 4 seats but a dog to get in and out the back - just enough to get mates to hitch a ride with someone else. £1k insurance for a 18 year old without a tracker - does need some trust and a few stern words of guidance. But, actually a nice little car to drive tbh.
When I bought it for No 2 son, his street cred didn’t appear in the thinking. Quite the opposite in fact. If street cred is uppermost then I’m not paying! He who pays the piper and all that.
He understands now and is a good driver for his limited experience.
Just got to get him to wash and clean the damned thing.
