That little dog say's it all 😂😂😂
I was about to wander off and put the kettle on and then doggo appeared. Matt's first profitable car for a while and Mutley rains on his parade. 🙂
Hahahaha
Yep, puts the Ka into perspective !
Ha ha ha ha. Reading commments then watched to end I pissed myself out loud
Also wanted to mention it... see at 17:53
The dog was giving it the seal of approval. Good job Matt.
Oh, for crying out loud Matt. I must now sit for another 18 minutes of perfect RUclips content. I feel like an obedient puppy 😂
It's insane that later this year, Ford won't be making the:
Ka
Fiesta
Focus
Mondeo
Love the dog weeing on it 😂😂
😂 sometimes things just work out perfectly
As soon as I see ‘I bought a cheap…..’ pop up I drop everything 😂.
Addictive viewing.
Give that dog an Oscar. Great vid again Matt as ever 👍
@highpeakautos is the reason I'm on RUclips loads lol
17:52 that dog is a great critic.
Evening all
Good little cars. My mum had one, and yes it was in Quantum of Solace. You're basically 007
Love the dog pissing on it at the end😂😊
That description of the sump was just hilarious 😂😂😂
The Ka is a Fiat made in Poland. As such, it's automatically superior to VW type crap. They are quite good cars for not much coin.
Ka/500/Panda front shocks are cheap to buy and take about 45 minutes a side to replace. The rear ones you can do with the wheels still on - that easy.
Amazing series of Cheap cars I love the consistency and the hard work Matt
I would love to see the full story on these cars - how and when do they sell, and for how much. Perhaps a roundup program on the last few sales, or an addendum at the end of each video. Is that possible?
Love the videos, by the way.
You did the right thing getting proper OE trims. Cheap ones look crap!
The dog was hilarious, thanks for keeping it in.
I'm always suspiciious of a car on a forecourt with the wrong wheel trims, it's worth getting the right ones
It was many years ago now but this video reminded me, when I was looking for my first car, I went to view a first gen Ford KA. This thing was at the time 13-14 years old, was listed for £600, right up your alley this thing. Went to see it, this thing was brand new, it looked like the day it rolled off the production line, it had about 11k miles on the clock, full service history and receipts for each bulb, bolt and wiper blade it ever had, sold by its first owner. Really wish I could have bought it but I just didnt fit behind the wheel.
Brilliant video as always. It shares it’s air vents, with an F40, F328, Alfa 33, and the Panda you took to Spain, an evergreen video for anyone reading this, to view. I will out nerd anyone car wise! Even you Matt 😂
Another brilliant video. Really well edited with a huge amount of shared knowledge
Looks great. My Mum has one 13 plate. She is very happy with it. Good video.
The dog pissing up the tyre - legend!
That's a Fiat 1.2 FIRE unit first seen in the Mk1 Punto no powerhouse but a tried and tested little engine
What a fantastic little car. Good call on the genuine Ford wheel trims, looks so good with the real thing.
I drove one of these a few years ago and was impressed with it. Very quiet at speed and fairly comfortable, good on fuel and quite good looking too! Good choice Matt.
Great runaround for a new driver as you said. Nice to see a car that wasnt an utter shed :)
Matt is on it with these cheap cars, these are decent little cars, shame the only experience I have of these is it breaking down on me on a busy motorway due to overheating. I think the Fiesta is a better bet over this plus I think the original Ka is better on design. Great video as always
agree , looking at getting fiesta 14 or 16 petrol to replace my focus 1.8tdci on 130,000 at moment ... had clutch flywheel etc but im also looking at runnign costs in general its tight wether to do it or not ...or keep fccus untill boy finished uni which involves 350 mile up and down to lancaster uni from hastings 4x a year .. ALready replace vacum pump , clutch fly wheel and servo boost ... but i think its got a injector on way out or tappet rattle ...comes and goes eco boost 1.0 or 1.25 big no no
The 1.25 engine has been around for years, its very reliable. I wouldn't touch a fiesta with the 1.0 ecoboost engine, the 1.6 ecoboost found in the fiesta ST is very reliable engine
I agree the original KA was better looking, but omg they literally rotted before your eyes! M
@@joem8213to get as much power as this out of a 1.0 must mean it's under a lot of stress. And also is probably very complex.
1.0 is garbage have a serius problem with the wet timing belt .
Absolutely brilliant. These sort of cars just make so much sense. Brilliant video, Matt 👍
I never understood why owners don't maintain their vehicles, no matter how inexpensive, properly.
Even the least expensive new vehicle is quite a bit of money and maintenance is always less expensive than repairs caused by deferred maintenance.
Matt,Sam here.
Just watched very interesting.
Love the mix of fact,knowledge and humour,tea pot,dog peeing on wheel.
Enjoyed it hope you get asking sure you will.
Was gutted no dog toys left in this one😂
Great vid per usual
Dog is a star! It’s like a stunt dog you should hire it for all your videos 😂
I saw the car on your website but you driving it really helped show the high mileage shouldn’t be an issue 👍
Great result, a nice little car 🚙! The dog gave his seal of approval 😂
Glad you got proper wheel trims, makes the car look so much better
Dog at the end 😂
Your soothing voice, sore throat or not, is a great accompaniment with my morning breakfast. Loved the little doggie too.
Thanks!
I like these. The one thing I learn't car transporting is that shite (French and Italian) cars were actually good and the good (German) cars were actually shite.
Proves there are bargains out there to turn a profit on and the way the market here in Ireland is, it seems to be in cheap, reliable run arounds. Great video as always Matt.
Another great find, well bought and maintained.The wheel trims make the car look much better. The movie is Quantum of Solace, famous for the opening car chase that destroys two black Alfa 159s. I would like to get one of those as a future classic
Enjoying the variety of vehicles that turn up on the channel, look forward to seeing a Toyota at some stage perhaps so keep up the good work 👍👍
Jap or German every time 😅😅😊😊
Ohhhh a video from Matt that I missed with the bank holiday/half term and gorgeous weather interfering with the usual surfing of RUclips 😎😆
Decent little car/Ka. We had a series 1 (which was in production for ever) and really liked it. Way better condition that the similar mileage BMW 118d in your recent vid.
We had one as a hire car in Spain It was fantastic, elec windows, air con and we hammered it for two weeks in 25 degrees.
Hi Matt, well done nice bit of profit for you another good little car back on the road well done. Cheers Phil from Newark
That is the Fiat 1.2 FIRE engine, badged as a Ford engine. One of the best engines ever made in my opinion. Seen them do big mileage with so much abuse, when I worked at fiat some young girl brought a Punto in with oil light flickering. After driving 250 miles home she thought she ought to get it checked out. After putting 2.8L of oil in, (service fill was 3.2) she was on her way. No issues. 😅😮
Having been in the motor trade when the first Ford Ka (not K A) came out, I remember the advert at the time which said "get into the Ka" which rhymes with Ma or think of a posh person saying car. People in the trade have been saying K A for years which is why the general public have picked up on it but it was always meant to be a play on the word car.
Talking of Bond cars, Casino Royale also showcased the then new Mk4 Ford Mondeo. It was before it was even launched. Bond drove it to the airport or something.
That's right. Fittingly, it was a hire car. Although it was a 2.5 turbo which I doubt many hire companies would actually use.. 😂
That's a great turnaround. The Ka looks really good. My wife has an 06 Fiesta that was given to her. It's a bit raggy round the edges, but it's just sailed through its second MOT with us. " "Cheap as chips" as they say ....except chips are beginning to look pricey these days 😕
Nice little car Matt and another good video 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏
I often find on silver cars the bumpers start to look a different colour.
Love these type of reviews budget cars & this after being cleaned up looking terrific value for money. Fitting proper ford wheel trims makes a massive difference to the appearance...as for the dog piss up the wheel errr...😂
Great video again Matt, Cheers!😊
Matt great little car 👍 just a finishing touch would be to retail it with all Tyre Dust Caps 🧐
Bond drove a MK4 Ford Mondeo in Casino Royale 😉
Nice little motor at a great price, you’ve obviously got a great supplier and that’s half the battle as a trader, look forward to what you buy next.
For the boot issue it's probably the solenoid, a cheap 15 quid fix, same thing happened to my mk6 fiesta.
The engine in this looks exactly like the 1.2 I had in my fiat punto. You're right matt, it is a fiat engine. And a quite reliable one if taken care of.
Lovely car, even if Olga is missing. Thx for the "KA" pronoucing, noghting like a good laugh in the morning, made my day.
I was trying very hard to ignore the swinging air freshener, lest I get hypnotized! 🤔
Becoming prolific Matt..loving the vids 👍🏻
the dash looks very similar to the Panda, may be good if going by your one that went to Spain. The dog did a free wheel clean!!
So glad you keep the edit of the dog relieving them self on the car 😂
Loved the video. Can we have the dog on at the end of every project ? He stole the show.
Love the dogs visit!
Nice little runaround for someone great video matt 👍
Love it, right at the end and a dog p#@ses on it 😂😂. You couldn't write it. Brilliant.
Well done Matt, you bought something with an A in it and you won, the curse is lifted 👏
Didn't ford confirm that it was pronounced "kar" or something like that. I remember hearing that.
Also that air box design is fiat. Is it a 1.2? It would be a FIRE engine in that case.
I’m fairly new to the channel and I’m currently flicking through and doing a mega catch up. I love the channel I also buy and sell cars myself on the side for some pocket money and have done since I was 15-16. The more and more I watch your channel you can’t tell me you’re not related to top gears Richard Porter 😂 even all your references are the same. 😅. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Haha I’m a big fan of his tbf but no relation. I think we’re from the same area though
Did you put a valve cap on o/s/r tyre? Good video. Keep em' coming. Recently bought a 12yr old Jag XF and watched your Jag videos first.
Great video HPA, great little car, perfect for a quick sale 👍👌😀
Wow I didn’t know the fiat Fire engine still existed,these were good engines and don’t do damage if the timing belt ever snaps,that dog at the end 😂😂😂😂😂nice one fella 👍
They do, now on the new ones they are called FireFly and come with a small battery to make them “hybrids”
I daily a siver 14 plate KA Edge 1.2 petrol. It was my mums and when her dementia got too bad it was just sat on her drive so it was passed on to me. Its a brilliant little 2nd car. £40 to fill, £35 tax, low insurance. Gets me to work at Hazel Grove High, up to Etherow, Hayfield, Poynton, Sainsburys, Marple Tip, Teggs Nose, 2 kids football. Only had 5k on it when I took ownership, and only just done 16k now after 5 years. Serviced every year, cambelt done.
You know I had to look it up because of the pronunciation, because sometimes I can be such a pedant about how to say something. 10 minutes of searching, I finally found a commercial from Ford with how they pronounced it.
Put nicely, Ford lost their minds when they came around to giving this automobile a name.
Calling it Kay is fine, although the way you said it from previous comments was sort of a mangled. As it turns out, Ka is pronounced like a New Englander would in that the R get's dropped in words. So, instead of Kar, it's pronounced Kah.
Wish I could remember where someone I met from the UK who was south of Birmingham heading for Oxford where he was dropping the harder R sound in words like most New Englanders. Said he never traveled to New England, and how he spoke was just natural to the region he was from. If anyone knows, that would be lovely.
Not a bad little run around and looks very "tidy" indeed... Another decent profit for you, Matt - hopefully!
My wife got a 2010 1.2 petrol. Really reliable, same engine and chassis as the fiat panda. Its slow, but drives pretty well for such a small car.
Epic timing from the Jack Russell!
The second gen Ka (we call it Ka - as in the Constrictor ! - here in Europe) was, according to the German equivalent of the JD Power survey, the No 1 most reliable car for most of its production run, beating even the Fiat 500 hands down ! Mine is now 12 years old, has done over 80000 miles and in all that time has only suffered from a cracked expansion tank, where the plastic is welded to an aluminium plate. My garage repaired it for about £150 - I could probably have done it for £50 but couldn't be bothered the hassle
Back in 2009, my first car was a Ka like this, in Dive blue with white alloys. Looked great and was a great first car. Did all sorts of things with it, like transporting five adults with luggage. Only problem I ever had was a dead battery. But then I did service it every year, like you should. :)
Always fun to see what you can fit in a small hatchback, I once took home an aluminium framed sun lounger that only folded where the back rest props up. I took off the passenger side headrest and hooked the front legs over that, then took out the parcel shelf and hooked the rear legs over the back seat; shoved the parcel shelf in the rear footwell area and drove it home. EDIT: Forgot to say this was in an old shaped Ford Fiesta.
As you thought, that generation of Ka is a less cute 500 and, if I'm not mistaken, was made in the same Polish factory. In fact the same facility as your Panda MJ and my last Panda MJ. It has the same engine and gearbox as my current Panda Easy, except mine has done less than half the mileage. I'm feeling pretty good about that.
All the cars you’ve done I’ve just looked I’ve not done a video of the Ford Mondeo Mk5
Matt, the Ka is pronounced as "car". I should know based on my days in Product Development at Ford.
Love the dogs thoughts on the KA matt,great content & a great little starter car thanks
Little dog not impressed, Hilarious, fair play mate, I burst out laughing.😂😂😂👌👍
Paper thin sumps.. just had to replace one on a 2010 Smart Car that had rotten through. This video for some reason reminded me of my partners Fiesta she had, decided to check the MOT history on that and somebody has done 45k in it, in a year, who the hell does 45k in a 1.2 petrol!
County lines drug dealers
Another great video Matt. You never disappoint always entertaining and witty narration. 👏end result looked great little car 👌👏
Agree. I find these videos a refuge from the utter shit show this country has become
@@version736ha2 totally agree 👌👏
I’ve got a 60 plate one, 75000 miles. I’ve had a pipe crack and then overheat. Rear shock absorbers and one of my gear cables snapped a couple of months ago as well 😂
Another amazing video Matt keep it up.
Proper manufacturers wheel trims always make all the difference!
Hi Matt, I love watching your videos keep them coming 👍 quick question..is it a mistake buying a car with higher mileage (not excessive) these days or so you think cars are built to do more mileage? Cheers
Well done Matt I like Ford ka I've had one nice little cars.
Very good on fuel good for city driving nippy little cars .
I would get another one.
Good orbit in these bread and butter cars as you always say .
Little and often is good in these hard times.
Kevin from Radcliffe
Nice bit of tyre shine from the dog
My partner bought one of these 2 years ago as her first car an 09 with 75k on it, I have serviced it twice now and it’s spot on drives like it’s brand new
It's alway's a pleasure watching your videos Matt your a very bright young man in all your endevours ( your other channels are infomative too .. but may i say your descriptions are FUNNY as f.. when it comes down to errors or maybe one you let slip by your genious .. hahaaa hey we not all perfect everyday eh buddy Cracking content Matt
Just curious if you've ever done a Carvertical search and had one come back with information it's spent time in the US? I only ask because I worked at a BMW dealership in the States that often had RAF officers (here for school) driving their UK RHD cars during their stay. Nice to see a good purchase like this go your way. 🙂
Love these little cars . I have inherited my Mums 06 Ka after she died . One owner 17000 miles full Ford History . Lovely little thing . I bought a mk 2 Ka for my son the learn to drive in . Again great little car . Cheap motoring ! As an aside I asked Mercedes for a quote to fit a tow bar to my W213 estate …………. £4500 😭makes you think
damn, I have a shoulder/neck injury and laughing at the KA pronunciation and the doggy peeing made me feel pain on my injury. The funniest video by far. 😂😂
I wanted to buy one of these when it came out for my girl, but the dealer couldn't find the keys for the test drive car, so I got her a Škoda Citigo. That was a fun little gokart
Keeping in the clip of the dog peeing on the front wheel was awesome!!
All versions of the ka are great little runners ,for work etc
My niece had one of these and compared to my mums mk1 Ka I was surprised just how Fiat it felt - the drive and interior plastics quality ( or lack of)). It really is a Fiat 500 in plain clothes.
Those Fiesta-style wheel trims were worth every penny, much nicer than the originals which would have come with the car. Looks great Matt, these are great little runabouts 👌🏼 Keep them maintained and car ownership doesn’t come much cheaper.
