🎥 2014 Ford Ka II 1.2 Duratec (69 HP) | 0-100 & Review | Joe Black 🔥 JOE'S TEST REALITY CHECK: Factory claims 0-100 km/h in 13.2 seconds. **My Dragy measurement (0-100 km/h): 16.6 seconds!** 🐌 (A massive difference! The 1.2 engine is extremely reliable, but it lacks any real punch. Overtaking requires serious planning and patience). ⛽ **CONSUMPTION & CITY LIFE:** Factory (Combined): **4.9 l/100 km**. **Joe Black Test: ~6.5 l/100 km.** ⛽ (To keep up with traffic, you have to rev this 4-cylinder engine constantly, which pushes the real-world consumption significantly higher than the brochure claims). 👇 Full specs, used market prices for a 2014 model, and competition links below! --- ### ⏰ VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS • 0:00 Intro: The Fiat 500's Forgotten Brother • 0:35 Exterior: Ford's Kinetic Design • 1:10 Interior: Funky dashboard & cabin space • 1:45 Bumpy Road Test (Suspension comfort) • 2:00 City Driving (Perfect visibility and easy parking) • 5:18 Acceleration Test (0-100 km/h - Result: 16.6s 📉) • 5:45 Highway Drive (Struggling at high speeds) --- ### ⚙️ VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS (Tested Unit) • Brand: Ford • Model: Ka II • Model Year: **2014** • Production Period: **2008–2016** • Manufacturing Location: 🇵🇱 **Tychy** (Poland) #### 🚀 DRIVETRAIN • Engine: **1.2 Duratec** (Petrol) • Cylinders: **4** • Engine Layout: Front, Transverse • Displacement: **1242 cc** • Power: **69 HP** (51 kW) • Torque: **102 Nm** • Transmission: **5-Speed Manual** • Drive: **FWD** • Emission Standard: **Euro 5** #### 📊 PERFORMANCE & DIMENSIONS • 0-100 km/h (Factory): **13.2 s** • 0-100 km/h (Joe Black Test): **16.6 s** 🐌 • Top Speed: **159 km/h** • Curb Weight: **940 kg** (Very light!) • Fuel Tank: **35 L** • Trunk Capacity: **224 L** (Seats up) / **747 L** (Seats folded) --- ### 💰 USED MARKET PRICES: A 2014 FORD KA II TODAY (2026) This car is now over a decade old.

It has the same engine, same chassis, and same reliability—but it takes a painful **16.6 seconds** to hit 100 km/h. For around €3,500 today, would you choose the Ford Ka for its price, or pay extra for the retro style of the Fiat 500? 🚗 **Let me know in the comments! 👇** --- ### 🎬 PRODUCTION DETAILS • Driver: Joe Black • Video Equipment: GoPro Hero 12 Black • Performance Measurement: Dragy GPS Meter • Format: 4K POV (No Narration) --- ### 🤝 SUPPORT JOE BLACK ✅ **SUBSCRIBE for daily POV test drives:** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRT3s4cWpEKyu2U9xPtmOiw?sub_confirmation=1 👍 **Follow on Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/joeblack.me/ #FordKa #Ford
