I did recently test drive the CX5 and I chose the Kuga - but motoring journalists seem to see Mazda as a premium marque. I was unimpressed as I found the CX5 cabin dowdy and uninspiring and didn't feel the cars drive was anything special. The Kodiaq is brand new but why test it against the Kuga - it is bigger and surely the Edge would have been a more appropriate comparison.

Ford had a long period (1965 - 1990) when it was characterised by old fashioned risk averse design, with all the decisions made by accountants. With many journos that has stuck with them, despite Ford having since then been highly innovative and design leaders, and it often colours their assessments.
