Aside from it being quick, they don't seem very satisfied. Very good review in all.

Still waiting for ours, 1 year anniversary of our order was last week.
It's been built, hopefully it will appear in the next week or so.

Apart from a yank, who is that guy anyway? ....

Had my Mountune FPM375 remap done yesterday plus charge pipes and upgraded brake hoses fitted.
Exactly. Fast Fords are always good cars, I can't think of any that were bad. But some people see the Ford badge and associate it with their not so great models like the Ka.

The review in above link above posted by Gibbo, has a lot of crap in it... guy seems only interested in purpose built track cars. Seems he just trying find an angle to make an internet name for himself..... not read any unhappy reviews from owners yet...quite the opposite....... it's a great car, not perfect, none are, but I think another classic RS.
PS.... current KA is basically a Fiat 500 underneath, people like them!!!! (Actually the KA is better engineered)

The KA is not made anymore. Replaced with the KA+ which is made in India similar to the Ecosport.

If your going to invalidate your warranty I'd not bother with the 380 I'd go for the Revo 420 that's in testing now and soon to release. .... I'd live it first before jumping on all those mods.... i'm keeping my warranty intact for three years....

I thought monotune mode didn't invalidate warranty.

The FPM375 kit is Ford approved and under warranty, has new air filter intake pipes, recirculating valve and map... the 380 kit isn't covered by the warranty.
Remap is excellent, more mid range torque and power, makes hustling it along much nicer and without need to rev it hard.... which when you do the power and torque just keeps coming smoothly and no let off. The extra mid performance just works so well with tremendous grip and traction it has, as the car can really use it and much more should you tune further.

Not a fan of the seats TBH... Prefer the standard Recaros...
Just as well you ordered when you did though as the 19" alloys went up to £975 in Sept
Yes im very impressed with the review.

Yup, good review. Free from rose tinted spectacles!

Have you driven one?
The review is quite annoying, guy is often incorrect and thinks he could engineer better. Bit of an arrogant berk

Agree the CS seats are a must, no comfort issues for me after a 4 hour drive... oh the height you get use to in about 10 minutes...
