Rusty Ford Ka - keep or scrap?
I have a narrow driveway, which my 2004 Ford Ka fits perfectly. Unfortunately it has failed its MoT. It only has 25,000 miles on the clock, but the main issue is the near side and offside rear lower inner door sills. The suspension component mounting is also excessively corroded.
Should I repair it for £1500 or buy another car that will fit the same driveway?

Not worth fixing it. These old Kas are cheap little rot boxes. Invest in another car, such as a Hyundai i10 1.2. That should fit the same narrow space.

Stylish, good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Refined for a small car and decent to drive.
