As title ,time for a new car and the Kuga has been mentioned ,what engines they have , 2 or 4wd any experiences ?

 

I bought mine a 5weeks ago, it`s 09mod, diesel 136bhp, panter black, whit individual interior packet. 4x4 of course, whit haldex4. It`s very nice to drive. We have sold alot of this at work, only 4x4 version, some with diesel 163bhp, who is thesame 2.0l as 136 who actualy is 140bhp now. I got 6speed manual, but the powershift automatic is fantastic, but made it moe expencive. You can also get it whit 2.5 petrol, 5sylinders volvo turbo engine

 

Me and the wifes freinds have one.Ive driven it and its a nice car.Its a titanium so top of the range.They reckon its not very good on fuel.Its a lovely car tbh.

 

My is also a Titanium, but whit the nicest individual interior. It have backing camera, parking alarms, touch screen, voice control, navigation, parking heater (by fuel), tinted windows, tyre pressure warning, 19" summer wheels etc. The 2,5 engine, has not been sold many of here, because of high price

 

What chassis are they based on , we have a Galaxy currently , is the kuga any bigger, what are they like day to day etc .. Cheers for the replies

 

They are smaler then a Galaxy. The minus thing is, it should have a bit more space in trunk and between front and rear seats, this is better on the new version. It`s still a lovley day to day drive. You should go to your dealer, and test drive it

 

Booked in for test drives on saturday already , just looking for general feedback on any versions to avoid or ones to go for .

 

No smaller, based on a Focus chassis.

I thought you were after a much older woman when i looked at the post title , lol

you fancy being a toy boy Tony ?

Lol

 

Yep Kuga is based on the Focus chassis. We have just had them delivered at work in various spec's. The Titanium ones are smart, a sort of cross between the Previous shape Focus/C Max inside and about the same sort of space. Not too certain on the seat trim, but they are a decent drive... but very thirsty for what they are!

Worth having a test drive, but also try a Tiguan, unless you are really set on a blue oval, also a very good car and similar in type.

 

Careful Paul , sounds like an offer for Grooming ,lol

 

Have a look at the individual seat trim, they look great and you sits well in them.
After the last pcm upgrade, it`s not so thirsty, of course the 2.5 petrol engine will always using some

 

Great cars to drive and hold there money very well imo

 

Hire firm next door had an 09 kuga 2wd 136. It had many problems with the dpf, that in the end had to be mapped out.

 

driven a few kuga's (and the car's too ) and in my experience the 2.5 auto is the best all rounder. i didn't like the 2wd it just didn't feel right, the 4wd feels much more planted on the road. the 2.0 diesel is good, not tried the 163bhp so can't comment. But i'd imagine a 4wd 163bhp auto is a great car to drive!

 

The Kuga is imo a very good car, but then again I do sell them for a living.

The basic model is the Zetec in that you get the following -

Heated Front Screen
Air Con
Remote locking
Ford "Power Start" engine starting.
Ford CD Radio
4 x Electric Windows
16" Alloys

Then you have the Titanium which has all the above plus the following -

Auto Lights and Wipers
Half Leather Interior
Sony DAB Stereo CD Player
Cruise Control
Bluetooth (2010 Model year onwards)
Dual Zone Climate Control
Thatcham Category 1 Alarm

Then you have Titanium X which has all the above plus -

Panoramic Glass Roof
Rear Parking Sensors
Full Heated Leather trim.

The options are -

Apperance Pack which is Tinted Rear Windows and roof rails (Without this they look unfinished in my opinion).
Titanium X Pack which is Heated Leather and Panoramic Glass Roof.
Convinience Pack which is keyless entry system.
Upgraded 19" Alloys (These look great )
There are others but cant remember them all

The chassis is based on a the 2008 - 2011 Ford Focus so they handle well for quite a big car.

The engines are as follows -

2.0 4 Cylinder Tdci 136 Bhp
2.0 4 Cylinder Tdci 163 Bhp (2011 Model year onwards)
2.5 5 Cylinder Turbo 220 Bhp (Quite rare because of Mpg figures)
2.2 4 Cylinder Tdci 200 Bhp (Very Very rare cars)

If you drive sensibly in the Tdci you can return 44 Mpg on a run (I have personally done this on a trip from Ormskirk to Blackburn doing a constant 70ish mph down the M6) But around town they will return around 38 Mpg.

They come in 2wd (Front wheel drive) and 4wd (all 4 wheels being driven), the most popular we sell is the 4wd Titanium model.

The colours available are -

Avalon (Light Green and not too bad if im honest)
Frozen White
Panther Black
Vision Blue
Electric White (Pearlescent)
Moondust Silver
Micastone (Greyish)
Sea Grey (Best Colour for them)
Mars Red (Terracotta for want of a better comparison)
Midnight Sky (Replaced Sea Grey afaik).

Hope this helps and if you want me to get you an awesome deal then give me a shout on the number I have sent you via pm

No worries mate, im a bit of a geek when it comes to Ford specifications and cars but then again I have to be because if your trying to sell somebody a motor and you dont know anything about it then it doesn't look good
