Are you a nervous purchaser as well, you'll be dead before you get this car you've been asking about for 6 months.
Once you've done a 100 miles in a manual, you'll hardly notice the gearstick, and it will be cheaper to run/buy/maintain.

I ran an automatic small car for a while and it had a bigger drink problem than an alcofrolic!
Big auto's are fine, but small ones are bad on fuel.
Never actually seen a Ka as an auto...
To be honest the Ford CVT box is rubbish anyway.
There are lots of Polo's, Saxo's and Corsa auto's out there which are better...0 -

Sorry. Meant to mention seen KA as manual. Been listening to what people say about getting a manual over auto. KAs dont come in auto either!0 -
It's a good job as it'd be horendous to drive with the elastic band gear box.
Get a Polo or Corsa...
Ive just sold an 02 plate Ka base done 36,000 miles for £1995 to give you an idea.
Bare in mind you can get brand new Ka's for circa £4995.0 -
Every time I see your name in a post, it is about this car or finance for this car, or that car, or another car, most of your posts are about a car that you never seem to buy.
Why not just have one thread?

I am going through the process of deciding...I am very nervous, I am trying to get my finances in order and I dont have a clue where to start or whats best. One month I am determined to go for it, the next I freak out!0 -
I'd stop thinking about it until the finances are in order.
A car is a car, just pick one (group 1 ish for cheap insurance) you like the look of within your budget, find one, if second hand do a hpi check (maybe AA inspection), and haggle. Take someone with you if you need support.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -
get some insurance quotes before you commit to buying, the small ford's with the zetec engine can be quite expensive to insure, you might want to consider something in a lower bracket.0

What cars would people recommend?
I am looking for something small, cheap to run and reliable.0
