Ford Ka - female car

Ford Ka - a car with an innovative design, released by Ford in 1996. It was intended for European and South American markets. The history of the model consists of two generations, the first of which was produced for twelve years.

Name

In Egypt, the word "ka" for a long time means the human soul. It was used by the company, and the slogan of Ford Ka became "The car with the soul."

Appearance

When looking at Ford Ka, you immediately notice the unusual shape of the body - because of it, the car looks like a ladybird. According to the idea, the machine was intended for women, and almost all of its details indicate this. For example, more convenient operation is promoted by the steering hydraulic booster with variable capacity, which is present in all trim levels, and besides it - electronic glass lifts, central locking, radio tape recorder. Another important detail may be that the bumper of the Ford Ka consists of three parts, so if necessary replace only one-third.

Interior Design

The salon is designed for four people. It is quite high - apparently, the designers counted on the fact that the ladies would get into the car with large headdresses. The design looks very unusual - for example, a radio tape recorder can be recognized only on close examination. But it's for the best - if a robber suddenly climbs into the car, then this unit is unlikely to take him with him. On the right side of the instrument panel is a recess with a removable bottom, and under it - another niche. So in the car a glove box is made. The front seats are very comfortable, but not high - again, designed for the female sex. But the rear are already frankly low. Apparently, they were meant for children. By the way, these seats, like the front, have adjustable backrests.

Exploitation

During a trip to Ford Ka, you should be careful when handling the wheel - it is not designed for too sharp turns. The brakes in the car work very well and gently. When the headlights are switched on, not only the instrument panel is illuminated , but all the switches are illuminated.

Installed equipment

The standard equipment of the car includes a wide variety of eight-cylinder engines, the volume of which varies from one to 1.6 liters, the power - from fifty to ninety five horsepower, and the torque - from seventy-six to one hundred and thirty-five Nm.

Ford Street Ka

This modification of the original model, which is a three-door open three-door hatchback. It is equipped with an eight-valve engine with a power of ninety-five horsepower, a five-speed transmission. His suspension became more rigid due to new hinges and stabilizer, and the power steering, brake amplifiers and drum mechanisms were refined.

Another similar modification was released - Sport Ka, practically repeating described with one exception: it has a full roof.

Conclusion

As already mentioned, Ford Ka is a female car, the owners of which have one or two not very adult children. Her husband must also have his own big car, since it will simply be inconvenient for him in this "ladybug".
