Our KA is UNSTOPPABLE! Last time we took normal cars on an off-road trail, two of them died. So we're back with the KA to give it another go - but this time we are comparing it to a 4X4 L200 pickup - to see how good it really is!

[@atevalve]

This absolutely deserves a proper offroad build now. Some of the bits from the spec rally series like the limited slip diff, uprated driveshafts and CV's, an probably the cage. Give it a bit more of a lift with better travel if you can, some skid plates, modifications so the tires don't scrub, and some more offroad friendly tires while you're at it. Thing would embarrass some serious machines.

having had 2 Ka's (97 & 98 models) they are extremely good. good reliable engine (basically dates back to the early 80's) that has plenty of poke for such small HP (59hp on the pre 2003's). Pretty roomy. Pretty much a go kart. While it was designed and accepted as more a feminine car (see its top gear appearance) its seen as a fun car by any whose driven one

[@BUBBABLACKMEAT]

[@That_Sasha_Bee]

The story of the KA is pretty cool and many years ago I remember talking to my uncle about them as he was a ford mechanic for many years. Apparently due to the wheels being in so far in the corners and how the suspension is set up he told me it’s acts more like a beach buggy. I don’t think it get the proper love and respect it deserves as a car but I’m glad these guys are showing how amazing it is even if original bought as a joke.

[@TRD_Kyle]

Its amazing how far you can get in a vehicle you don't care too much about breaking, that is super light, has a short wheelbase and hardly any overhang. That pickup was so long that its breakover angle isn't great and the rear overhang is huge. Those double wheels put a lot of work in and I am amazed that you only punctured one. The mighty KA cannot be stopped! At least on the downhills that is. I have done offroading quite a bit in a 4runner and it is always hilarious seeing some old thrashed car get through something it has no business being on. The main this is how comfortably it will do it and how much I trust each one to get me home at the end of the day.

With just actual off road tires (even on steelies that's fine), maybe a small lift for clearance and skidplates to not fuck up the sump and this car's a weapon

[@mpasistasyalanci]

Small light cars with small distance from the bumpers to the wheels and small distance between the axles, are great off road. I had a Peugeot 106 and I've been to places that a modern suv couldn't go. One time on a dirty road going to an isolated beach, a suv was following me, I passed through a difficult spot with some caution but easily, he almost broke his car because of his confidence seeing me passing it with ease

[@adamstilldrives]

When you understand the engineering for that ka and it's purpose it's not surprising how well it does. The engines are strong, the suspension is well built for its weight. The only downside is it's very basic with next to no frills
