Indeed it is.



Most go down the 1.2 8v route with a cam, induction kit and free-flow

exhaust for roughly the same power.

That was also more expensive, less rust resistant, had a nasty engine

designed in the 1950s and looked like it was styled by a 5 year old. The

Ka may (allegedly) corner better, but it`s just not fun. It`s also loads

bigger on the outside but, for some unfathomable reason, smaller on the

inside.



Think that just about covers it.
