Default "Wheels" on Ford KA - DOG or GOD?

In the latest 'Wheels' magazine there is an article on the Ford KA..

Do they rate it DOG or GOD?

It was interesting reading and a justified rating imo. I spot KA's on the road from time to time too.

Definitely a god. My wife used to have one. Superb car.

By the way, it's not "KA" (as in "kay-ay"). It's Ka (as in "Kah"). Jac Nasser was president of Ford of Europe when it was being designed. The boys were joking around one day and said they wanted to call it Ka because "...that's how Australians say car."

It was a massive hit in the UK, I think they only just recently discontinued the platform.
