Talk:Ford Ka

message: I'm not happy with the problems section. Ford Ka is not particularly unreliable (more reliable than most small cars in fact) yet this section makes it seem so. I would prefer this to be removed or severely cut down. Kelestar 19:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The StreetKa is often dubbed as "the poor man's Audi TT" given its close resemblance to the Audi.
Not sure how much this makes sense, since the TT came out after the Ka... -- stewacide (added 28 April 2004) 
The StreetKa appeared in 2003, some while after the TT so the comment is valid. --DavidChief 18:40, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, Ford made no secret of the fact that the Ka and StreetKa are designed for and marketed at women... thus surely it would be "the poor woman's Audi TT"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.43.240 (talk) 09:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The article is wrong there was a van variant available in the UK. The van was NOT exclusive to BT either.  I was unable to upload the image of the Brochure from 2002.  Clearly a van variant was marketed in 2002/2003.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peeky (talk • contribs) 09:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

message: i just wondered what engine sizes the street ka comes in as you havent clearly discolsed this information can you get the car in 1.4 or does it start at a 1.6 thanksx
:In the UK, at least, they are/were only available with 1.6 engines. The article says Both of these came with a new 1.6 L 8-valve Duratec engine producing 95 hp, which implies that they are/were only available as a 1.6. To be honest, it would be better to check on the Ford website for information like that.  Bob 20:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The Ford Ka replaced the Festiva in Australia before itself being replaced by the Ford Fietsa due to poor sales and poor reception from reviewers and customers, yet there is nothing in this article about its time on the Australian market. My knowledge of the Ka and its sales is minor so could someone with more knowledge update.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.6.93.252 (talk) 14:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: TYCHY, Poland, September 25, 2008 – The first volume production example of the new Ford Ka rolled off the production line at a special ceremony today in Tychy, Poland, 12 years after the original Ka was launched to great acclaim.
Polish Deputy Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak was guest of honour at the ceremony.
With sales due to begin across Europe from early next year, the new Ka will be fully revealed to the public at the Paris Motor Show next week.
With the introduction of the new Ka, Ford of Europe will have changed its entire car range in record time. In 2008 alone, the company has brought more than 20 new and improved models to market.

message: Does anyone know officially about the pronunciation of "Ka"? I hear "kah", "kar" and "kay-ay" in roughly equal measures. IndieSinger (talk) 20:11, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation

message: Surely it's actually based on the Mk3 Fiesta underneath, because it's similar in size and the whole reason the Ka came out was because the Mk4 Fiesta was bigger than the Mk3 Fiesta so Ford needed to make a "gap filler" car (like the VW Lupo/Fox/up! and UK right-hand drive Renault Twingo, for example). --86.157.83.117 (talk) 21:42, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: It was first used for the 1994 concept version, it's really just a play on "car". The only source I've found is: First, the Ka - and even Ford's choice of name sounds capricious. "We could have called it the Bno, or something, but Ka was the name which came up at concept stage and it stuck - a small name for our smallest car," said Ford UK chairman (ref: Motor industry management: journal of the Institute of the Motor, Institute of the Motor Industry - 1996 p.35).

It does appear to be a negative-sounding statement, and Wikipedia is not a Soapbox.
