Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi Titanium

due to a disability we needed a higher up car. I wasn't to keen to do this as I had always had low sporty cars.

Once I test drove it I quite liked it but after buying one I have never looked back. They are brilliant and handle really well both on the road and off road. they are really nice to drive.

never had any issues with it as it is very reliable too. only downer is that it isn't very fuel friendly but that is to be expected with a 4x4

Not the car I went out to buy BUT great for entry it perfect height for me

Ok so it's a confortable car and it does what it says on the tin but overall this is a poor quality plastic and tin excuse for a vehicle. I have had mine for 9 months and cannot wait to get rid of it. The carpets don't fit properly and are coming away, the paint finish on the corners of the panels are shoddy, the MPG claims are so inaccurate that trading standards should get involved, the bonnet shakes alarmingly at speed, the service costs are astronomical compared with my previous car (BMW) and the service intervals are very short, the laquer on the wheels is peeling off already. Internal plastics are cheap and I'll fitting.

Overall a thoroughly dissapointing experience from what appeared to be a quality move from Ford.

I've owned my Kuga from new (April 2009), it is the best car I have owned. It's got plenty of poke when needed. It looks great and I have managed 45 mile per gallon which think isn't bad for a 2ltr turbo engine.

It hasn't let me down on any front.

I'm getting a new car very soon but only if I could keep the Kuga so sold it to my partner for a very very cheap price.

It's one of those cars you don't want to let go of.

If I did have to make one negative point it would be the very often terrible customer service that one gets from Ford. The good garages are far and few between. Ford make a good car these days but unlucky if it goes wrong because you will get to experience Ford's customer service at it's best.

It was great value for money as bought it through a broker and had almost 5K off the listed price.

Since owning Mercs for the last 25 years or so, I was a bit shocked to hear of the wifes Descision !!! to get a Ford Kuga 2 years ago.

I tried to find faults but still can't, it beat the fatherinlaws Range Rover my own Jeep Cherokee and the brotherinlaws VW Touraud in the snow last year , we all had bother getting up the farm lane, but not the wifes Kuga, it just efortlessly passed by the stuck vehicles on the side of the road to park right up the driveway next to the door, ha ha ha.

It has loads of power for overtaking, and is still very good ( better than all ours ) on fuel.

I have heard to watch out for the DPF on the exhaust, it can choke up if the car is only used for town driving, make sure you take it for a good birl on the open road over 50 mph for more than 10mins once a week is recommended.

FORD ??? never thought you'd be in my driveway ever since I saw my teenage Capri being towed away.

I have been a Ford customer for many years and never had cause to complain about the cars or the after sales service. My previous car was the Fiesta zetec sport which was great but my wife had her eye on the Kuga. I was wary of the 4x4 market but was offered a great deal for the Titanium AWD version and as I drove it out of the showroom it was the most nervous I had been since my driving test 30 years earlier.

This proved to be short term as this is the best car I have ever owned and apart from handling like a dream the high spec extras and finish makes a run to Asda enjoyable. A definite head turner and even more pleasing is the re-sale values ( check out any dealers or private sellers ).

Finally with most of my family living in England I have many trips down south and on the motorway the car comes into its own with good mpg and plenty power available when required.

I've just done 5K miles in my Kuga across the past 6 weeks - it's a great car! - Easy to drive, good poke once going and boy'o'boy still turning loads of heads. On the day I picked the car up I caught someone in a brand new X5 giving the car a good look up and down.

I recommend anyone thinking about an SUV to give this a try - you will not be dissapointed.

The driving position in the Ford Kuga is spot-on and all-round visibility is good. With its trademark grille and swept-back lights, we think it is one of the best-looking 4x4s around.

The new Ford Kuga is Ford's big European step into the 4x4/SUV market. Intended to rival the Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav4, this economical 4x4 is likely to be Ford's top vehicle of 2008 in terms of popularity.With surprising good looks that haven't been part of the 4x4 mandate until the last few years, the Ford Kuga is stylish and economical at the same time. Ford are offering some likeable extras too, like a £1000 sat nav system and cool leather seats, and even twin chrome exhaust pipes for the self-consicious sportster in all of us.The Ford Kuga looks set to be Ford's hot 2008 offering, standing proud against the new Focus, Mondeo and existing cars like the beloved Fiesta. And with the blue oval having successfully excised Jaguar and Land Rover from their stable, Ford are back to concentrating on their own cars.
