If size is a factor I suggest ALBRECHT AE-6110 mini (Anytone Smart), Midland M-Mini etc.

Most CB radios are bigger than a Ford Ka ;)

Perhaps add the Magnum 257 to the list and when you have a dozen alternatives, just filter them by size/cost/features etc.

Surely one of the many, many radios you've bought over the years will fit? :-D

Cobra 75

All the controls are on the mic, so you can shove the radio out of the way under the seat.

Congrats on the Ford Ka! It's a great compact choice. When I was outfitting my small car with a CB radio, I opted for something compact and efficient. I went with the Cobra 75 WX ST, which integrates all controls into the handset to save space. It’s a great fit for smaller vehicles and still offers solid performance.

When I was researching how to transport my car safely after purchase, I found this resource incredibly helpful: https://www.a1autotransport.com/how-are-brand-new-cars-transported/. It not only explained the process thoroughly but also provided hints and typical prices, which really helped me understand what to expect.
