Ford STREETKA review covering 2003 - 2007

Monday 10 September 2007

Find yourself in the market for a used supermini convertible and you tend to be faced with a run of depressing choices. You can either opt for the sort of hatchback conversion that looks like a pram or you can opt for the sort of ‘sporting’ coupe-convertible car with folding metal roofs that tend to malfunction, leaving you drenched in the throes of the British ‘summer’. Most give up on this sector and buy a proper roadster such as an MG TF or a Mazda MX-5 but salvation arrived in 2003 in the pert shape of Ford’s Streetka. It was small, it looked the part and it was fun to drive. Was that really so difficult?Tracking down a used example may be a little more difficult than working up the enthusiasm in the first instance. Although the Streetka sold in decent numbers, owners seem strangely unwilling to divest themselves of the baby Ford. Your best bet may well be a low mileage demonstrator from a Ford franchised dealer. Don’t expect too many outrageous bargains even if you do choose to buy in the traditional convertible ‘dead period’ in late autumn.
