OMG. Ford KA Unleashed.

[GeeDee.]

Yo!

Here's the story, My little brother wants to learn how to race in GT4 so I bought him a car. (I have a tonne of spare cash). I decided to buy a real slow car and then tune it for him. I bought a Ford KA. It was originally 80-sumink BHP. but in the end it was just under 200.

I wanted to test drive it on the Nurb'. I did a "family cup", I was put up against NSX's and RX7s. Woah. I thought. This car has no chance. I ended up winning lol. That car was mental. 8 mins 15.

I RECOMMEND IT.
GeeDEE.

What are you? Vicky Pollard or sumink or nuffink?

Please try to use proper English on these forums, as requested in our AUP.
Thanks.

I'd advise against using highly tuned or overpowered vehicles to teach someone to race in, you're better off giving them a low powered car such as an (NA) Mazda MX-5 or Honda Civic and encouraging them to learn racing techniques such as braking zones & racing lines, which're more beneficial in the long run than relying on super high-powered cars to win races.

That's my

anyway.

I recommend it too! The Ford KA was my very first videogame car ever...but not in GT....in Ford Racing for the PS1. 👍

I've been saying this for years now: if I jumped into a Mustang or some other faster car, not only would I have spun out and wrecked over and over, I would have missed on a lot of learning a slower car like the Ka provides. 👍

I used little cars like a lotus europa to learn the corners and to this day i still use the same techniques as i would in my europa as i would in my F1 car (except a lot faster implementication)

The Ford Ka scares me.

"It's only a Ford Ka, it's slow and harmless!"

I usually send friends down the path of buying a slowish car to practice in also. Which is completely funny of me to do because my first car in GT4 was a brand new Skyline GT-R!

Sorry about my "Slang" language. I did not read the rules and regulations before I wrote this. I was exstatic about the Ka!

This car I bought, I was going to give to my brother but after a drive round the Nurbergring, belileved I should buy another one for me and tune it. Thats what I did.

I want another small fun car. What should I buy?

P.S. I have 5million so there is no issue with money

I wouldn't exactly call it small, but the Honda Odyssey is a fun one. Buy everything for it, and it will be able to outrun C5 Corvettes in the corners!

I also like the Nissan Micra, among other smaller ones.

a suzuki cappacinuo would do good.

 

[GeeDee.]

LOL

Isnt the Honda Odyssey a people carrier or MPV, in the states?

 

[FoolKiller]

I suggest the Nissan Pao. You won't beat an NSX, but you will giggle every time you watch a replay. Plus, it is fun to drive.

On the "only a Ford Ka" theme...

I agree, the Pao is good fun, as is the similar Be-1. The Honda City is a laugh too once tuned - twin cylinder power!

Your opinions on a maxed out Fiat 500F?
I personally find it to be decent fun for 80-some HP and a rather small engine.
(I'd like to say only one cylinder, but it might have two.)
