gus · 27-05-2008, 08:56 PM

has anyone test driven one of these yet?

im booked in for a drive on thursday

they look good and come i have spec'd one up to what i want and they dont seem to bad imo

are they the same engine as in the mondeo i know its a 2.0 tdci duratec

these man enough to push the extra weight around?

oh wow, make sure you post back what you think, i've didn't know these were out yet.

it's the same engine as the focus/mondeo but tuned for more torque i think in low gears.

tore_tj · 29-05-2008, 05:47 PM

you can have it with the 2,5 turbo as well

not out yet though..

CosworthGuy · 29-05-2008, 05:50 PM

I really like these. I was at east midlands airport this mornin and they haev one in the check in bit. i had a good look around it

foreigneRS · 29-05-2008, 07:13 PM

they do look really smart

being a modern ford, they will be good to drive if richard parry jones had anything to do with it (although he is recently retired).

gus · 29-05-2008, 07:29 PM

was rather nice

drives very well, despite being a bit top heavy they do go round corners quite well

plenty of go as well

gets a gus star rating of 4/5

discodenkelly · 29-05-2008, 07:29 PM

I don't think they look that good tbh, mind you they will probably grow on me. Be interested to know what they like though

kaking1982 · 29-05-2008, 07:35 PM

they only make them in diesel 2.0 or 2.2 they are pug engines very good cars or will be when they sort the problems

BigMouthBillyBass · 29-05-2008, 08:39 PM

is kuga not a bit too similar to cougar? bound to cause confusion surely

Coldo · 29-05-2008, 08:41 PM

Had a shot of one at work yesterday, 2ltr diesel, was quite good, torquey, nice driving position, couldn't comment on its off road ability, but it was a nice drive for sure.
Interior is quality and personally, i think they look superb.

andre_k · 29-05-2008, 08:49 PM

pics, never heard of one!

Glenn_ · 29-05-2008, 08:58 PM

im not a keen lover of new cars they all look the same nowa days.

Ryan_3 · 29-05-2008, 09:09 PM

yeah glenn is right. for ex focus and fiesta

Lambchop · 30-05-2008, 08:57 AM

only saw an ad for these the other day and dint get a proper look. bout time ford had a new 4x4 on the go!

Neil@FastFord · 30-05-2008, 09:15 AM

They are decent motors, good all rounder. Easy to drive.

Typical modern Ford. Great inside, good spec and good handling for a big 'ol car.

Would make a decent tow vehicle

I think they are £175 a year for tax too....awesome for a 4x4

Coldo · 30-05-2008, 09:19 AM

dojj · 30-05-2008, 09:25 AM

seen a few of them about

they look like they've morphed a freelander with a fiesta, but it doesn't look "wrong" if you know what i mean

dunketh · 30-05-2008, 10:09 AM

Oh dear... its like a Rover Streetwise on E.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_Streetwise

Still, they'll sell by the bucket load to folks who'll never get them muddy.

Lambchop · 30-05-2008, 10:31 AM

i quite like those pics!

B19 JUB · 30-05-2008, 01:06 PM

ive got a technical training course on these end of august,trip to daventry,hotel n food paid for oh hell yeah lol.
they do look nice and imagine the intelligant 4x4 could be quite good just think they could of been bit more inspiring with dash as its looks almost identical to the latest s-max and galaxy

it's getting petrol as well.. the 2,5t is confirmed..

30-05-2008, 02:34 PM

Chelsea tractor for the poor, why do we need cars like this?

They should be getting smaller/lighter and more economical not the opposite!

OrionRST200bhp · 30-05-2008, 02:39 PM

Oh God, please don't.

It looks distinctly non-Fordish, closely resembles it's VW, Audi and Seat competitors...I wonder how much Ford is actually under the plastics?
