Subject: 3 Months of owning a Kuga
Posted: 28 May 2017 at 9:19pm
I have had my Kuga for a month now and am thoroughly enjoying it. It is a year old with 11000 miles on the clock and was previously the personal company car of the dealership manager where I brought it. My previous car was a C4 Picasso, a very highly rated model and a car I enjoyed so I was a bit concerned about moving on but am glad I did. The Picasso was maybe a better motorway cruiser (although it is very close) but the Kuga is just way more accomplished on more twisty roads, and copes smoothly and easily with stop-start town traffic, which could cause the C4 gearbox a degree of anxt.

I have been following the discussion here with interest as I may be in a similar situation. I brought my car some fifty miles away - from a non-Ford dealer. They however had a car with a powershift transmission that I could test drive, something my local Ford dealer could not manage to provide (but suggested I test drive an S-Max and would then be able to order a Kuga without needing to drive it!). Hopefully they will prove more effective when it comes to servicing the car.
I hope Jason's experience is an exception rather than a rule and that he is able to get his issues resolved - but it is hard once you lose confidence in a car.
