2014 Ford Ka | 1.2 Duratec 69 HP | POV Test Drive #2731 | Joe Black

🎥 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:*    / @joeblack9   👍 *Follow on Instagram:*   / joeblack.me   #FordKa #Ford
