Mk2 General Discussion : Mk2 Kuga fuel consumption / Miles Per Gallon MPG

If he's buying purely on fuel economy then the 1.5 diesel is quoted at 64.2mpg, and the 1.5 petrol at 45.6mpg. 

Chances are in the real world the gap won't be anywhere near as big. For low annual mileage i'd probably go with the petrol, and only entertain the diesel if you're doing over 15k miles per year.

Don't forget the diesel is slower, less refined, and is beginning to go out of fashion.

Hello
Have owned the new Kuga for 2 months now.
I feel that the center console creaks.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
If so, have you got rid of it? tip?

A lot of people turn to car magazines to read motoring journalists car reviews and I suspect that those vehicles are provided with an expectation from the manufacturer that the journalist/reviewer is going to write a reasonable car review,  if it's a rubbish review then  . . . who knows. 
My opinion is if you are going to read a car magazine for some help, advice, guidance then read actual car owners opinions/reviews, I found the Auto Express Driver Power Survey results really useful and helpful as they reflect car owners views and not motoring journalist opinions who have probably only spent a short time in any vehicle.

I think mark-essex has offered really good advice.  Owners, not professional journalists, are the people whose opinions should be listened to.  I can only say that my own Kuga continues to impress and delight at 3 months and 3000 miles.  I have absolutely no regrets about ordering it and no alarm bells ringing.

Of course there are owners who have had problems and who have reported them on this site.  I used to own a Porsche and I can assure you the owners club web site had plenty of equivalent problem stories by owners but also lots of enthusiastic reviews by very happy owners.

I have been in the Italian Kuga forum till 2 months ago. One day I wrote a not-so-nice review focused on the Sync3 usability (usability evaluation is my research branch). I received a direct attack from a couple of people, yelling at my going against what Quattroruote (most famous Italian magazine about cars) tells about the Sync3. No way to convince them about the flaws I highlighted; no way to make them stop insulting me. Result? I am here with all of you. Never been in the Italian forum since then. 😃

Love mine one of the best cars I have owned, had one or two problems with the DPF but then I put it down to the joys of owning a Mk1 Kuga. Thumbs Up

Hi Highlander

Take note of reviews but work out what the key things are you need/want from a car and test drive as many of the potential options as possible to make your own judgement (this is the second biggest personal investment after a house that most of us will make so don't do it relying on what others think). I tend to buy year old cars and keep them a while but I bought my Kuga 6 weeks ago. Cars I drove (and rejected) included Vauxhall Mokka; FIAT 500X; Hond CRV; Toyota RAV; Mazda CX5; VW Tiguan; Peugot 3008; Mercedes B class as well as various Mitsibushis, Kias, and Suzukis.  I could not find anyone with a SEAT for me to test, the Renault/Nissan family offered no atomatic with AWD, and Audi and Volvo asked stupid prices and high mileage for equivalent equipment. I did like the Toyota CHR but that is a brand new model so few used examples are available and it was outside my budget.

I was a bit extreme this time (perhaps my wish list was quite prescriptive) so I am not suggesting you test that many (and your requirements will give different results to mine so I am not saying the Kuga is better than all those other makes - rather it best matched what I was looking for). 

Good luck in your car hunting.

Thanks for the reply Murcod but the ELS27 and the OBDLinkMX are very expensive for the purpose of just enabling the anti hijacking. 
I think , you are safe, just using a device which is cable based and not bluetooth.  and btw, that switch is not really a problem, as software utilize it, if you have it.

OK, dropped the car off Monday Noon, later than planned. Service reception book me in and said it would be ready by 5pm after regassing. I queried that, saying it was the second time in 9 months it needed regassing and the manager said it could take 2 days due to looking for a ppossible fault. 
9am this morning they range me to say the car was ready. Went up to collect it, was told it had been regassed and all was fine. I asked what about it keep needing regassing, told they'd done pressure leak testing from over and under the engine, nothing found, it was completely normal for the car to need regassing very 6 - 9 months. I said my lease was up in October, he said he assumed I would be giving them a glowing reference and no doubt would want another Ford. I just said "no doubt" and left.
Am I being cynical in assuming the car was actually ready for 5pm and because I'd made a fuss, they waited till 9am the next day, thinking I'd believe they done a day's work on it.
I can't believe they expect me to accept that this is all perfectly normal?

phoneman you say they recommend the regas and also say it was included in 3 year service.... Was it an additional cost to have regas done and if so did it show on the invoice.
