Hi guys. I have decided to get Ford Kuga. So please share your experience and common problems, and what do you think of the fuel consumption??

Since there is no GPS, reverse camera and automated driver seat, can anyone advice if I could these accessories?

Also, please advice what kind of tinting I should get to block sun, there are just so many types, please share you experience please!

Please advice.

Hi, its a simply answer of you know or no, how do you know if there multiple family members uses the car at different times of a day, so dont simply comment, but rather inform me if you know something. Reverse camera could aid my mum who is about 60 years old, do you live alone in this world??

Getting there, getting where? Just because someone uses reverse camera to assure, note this, "assure" that I dont hit the kids next door is wrong??

Dont reply with average brains and waste everyone's time. Its a forum and suppose to be a platform for knowledge sharing, get a live!

Any feedback on the car performance? Any common problems?

Wow, its so good to hear at least one positive response. I booked the car and just locked my loan today at 2.4%. Lets hope mine wont be lemon. How it the fuel consumption and any common problems? The SA told me that KUGA gearbox is the normal full auto, and hence wont have problem compared to DCT in Focus.

Lets hope so!

Yes, can recline. The FC is quite bad huh. LOL!

How about the electronics, any issues yet?

I think anything compared to CX5 will be bad...

Yes that I agree.

Whatever it is, Kuga's killer look and boot opening technology attracted me to the core!!

Got my Kuga out. Fabulous drive as of now. Just a few questions:

Dear Kuga users:

1. How much will the tire cost?
2. The air cond, why the inner circulation turns off everytime I start the car, cannot make it permanent?
3. The disc break, when I release the break, there is noise
4. Will the fuel consumption reduce over time when the engine wears out a bit?

Thanks!

Please advice

Well, I drove the CX5 and Kuga, and proudly Kuga is a fantastic drive. But, the initial acceleration of Kuga is still feeling underpowered for me and I felt even bad with CX5. But after the initial pickup, the car flies... Petrol is getting better for me now, it was starting at average 13l/100, then 10l/100, now slightly less than 9l/100 after 3000+ km. Please dont believe any advertisement on consumption by any car, its all bullshit.

The biggest disadvantage of Kuga is the shortage on storing space for cards and coins, which is a major pain!! In terms of aftersales service, FORD and MAZDA have same complaints, slow spare parts and bla bla bla. But, KUGA comes with 5 years warranty/200000 km, where else CX5 only 3 years warranty, so its a bit of a risk, as the parts for MAZDA and FORD are not cheap.

But, KUGA does not come with reverse camera or GPS.

KUGA comes with torque vectoring that controls AWD, which is fascinating for me!! And the tailgate automation, is fabulous, at least for me.

Another thing to remember, the fuel efficiency of CX5 is claimed for FWD, and KUGA is AWD, so not apple to apple comparison.

All things apart, KUGA is solid, you can know its solid simply by waving the doors and I think its more spacious compared to CX5.


Anyway, end of the day its completely up to your taste! Good luck!!
