The Ford Streetka is cute, cuddly and fun to drive, and appealing in its
simplicity.
Streetka came along five years later than expected -
so it was five years behind the class-leaders when it was launched. Where
newer models such as Peugeot 206 CC, Daihatsu Copen and upcoming Nissan
Micra C+C have clever folding metal roofs that give coupe-like security
and structural rigidity, Streetka settles for an old-fashioned fabric
hood, and a manually-operated one at that.
Still, there's a lot to be said for its
uncomplicated, back-to-basics charm. It shares the Ka hatchback's
predictable, responsive handling, making it an amusing car to drive.
