@@newoaknl I had the old Ford KA (2000 model) and now drive the new one (2012 model) and I believe the new drives much better than the old. The engine you get on the new Ford Ka is a Fiat 500, it shares the same engine as Fiat. Most of of the new Ka is a mix-and-match design from Ford and Fiat. The new one has better suspension and much better interior. If you service it well it maintains strong acceleration, even though I believe the new one has a tad less stronger engine than the new one, but I am spitting hairs here. I remember the old one felt like driving a barrel on wheels, you could feel each and every bump but not with the one. Easier to change oil filter on the new one, whereas for the old one it was harder. Unfortunately one similarity the new one has to the old is replacing front lightbulbs, you must remove the whole light fixture to fit your hand, however still it's nothing like the old one where you had to drop the whole front bumper and then unscrew the light fixture ! I'd also say you can get wider tires to fit on the new one. The spare wheel is inside the boot, not underneath like the old one. Plus the new one has electric locks, windows and air con as standard and you can get a key fob to lock/unlock the doors separately from the boot, whereas the old one varied on its edition (mine had absolutely nothing). Word of warning: getting a key fob programmed for the new Ka is quite expensive because you get charged a bit of double the price (Ford and Fiat). Also in my humble opinion you won't find good quality parts for the old one. Kept my old one for almost 5 years and replaced suspensions and shock absorbers among other things, each year there was something that had to be replaced or serviced. The new one is more rigid. Finally, the car tax is much cheaper on the new one, around £30-ish per year (at least for mine) whereas my old one was near £120 cause it was too old. Whenever I had to go for an MOT for my old one there were issues with emissions. The new one has a life-time warranty on its fuel filter, you will never have to replace it.

Just wanted to say unless your 1.2 is burning oil as its old, the recommended oil for the petrol 1.2 is 5w-40. 5w-30 is for the diesel 1.3.

How much does it cost to change the timing belt and how often we need to change it

I bought a 2012 titanium one last year with 79.400 kms and my mechanic recommended a change on the timing belt set,so i did it.
