Second-Hand Ford StreetKa
Used Ford StreetKa
The Ford StreetKa was first released in the UK in 2003 and is widely regarded as one of the best convertible superminis you can buy. Second-hand Ford StreetKa cars for sale are fairly hard to come by even though they sold well when they were available. Ford used their existing 95bhp 1.6-litre Duratec engine in the StreetKa and this version of this iconic little car improved even further on the chassis stability and excellent handling of the original. In 2003, the limited edition Ford StreetKa Winter Edition was added to the range and came with a detachable hardtop as well as the usual cloth top.
What You Get
The basic used Ford StreetKa came with a whole host of great features such as anti-lock brakes, remote central locking, a cloth roof, a height adjustable driver's seat, 16-inch alloy wheels, twin airbags, an alarm, front fog lamps, power heated door mirrors, electric windows and CD-based stereo. The Luxury model came with all of these plus leather trim, height adjustment for the passenger seats, heated seats, a heated windscreen and air conditioning. There were also the options of metallic paint, climate pack (air con and the heated screen) and a CD autochanger. The interior is fairly standard for Ford but with the addition of some nice metallic detailing and a cool looking metallic gear knob.
How it Drives
The Ford StreetKa is an even better drive than the standard Ka. The steering has also been adjusted for a more sporty feel and it only requires 2.6 turns of the wheel to get from lock to lock. The 95bhp engine will get you to 60 mph in 12 seconds. Now this may not be the most exciting statistic in the world, but what the used Ford StreetKa really has in its favour is its fun looks and driveability.
