...and it's briliant!
Was a 1.2 and I was surprised how nippy it actually is.
Think it looks fantastic aswell. Like a miniature mix between the new Focus and a Corsa D. 
The misus and I are looking for a new, small, economical car and between the Fiat 500, Aygo, Ka and Swift, the Ford wins, hands down.

Don't know how leasing is over your way, but over here leasing is only worth the money if you want an expensive car and do lots of miles. On the Ka, there's no way leasing would be a cheaper option.

It's very similar to a Fiesta, I was looking at one parked up and I did think it was a Fiesta for a few seconds.

Just half the size! 
But yeah, the overall expression of the Focus, Fiesta and Ka (and Pug 207, Pug 307, Mazda 2, Mazda 3, Corsa D etc) is much the same.

That's what gave it away! 
I was looking at it and thought those Fiesta's look really good (it was white with optional 17's) then I was like, that's well small, oh shit, it's a KA

my best mate has just went from a fiesta st to the new fiesta 1.6 zetec s diesel, and he loves it.
He says its so much more of a refined drive than the st, obviously not as quick but no slouch either.

We have, but it seems a bit overpriced compared to the Ka.
