Well, after an 3.5 yrs in a 04 Leon Cupra TDI followed by 3.5yrs in an Altea XL Stylance TDI the time came for a change.
I was very tempted by an Exeo ST but fancied something a bit different and decided on a smallish "SUV" After looking at the Skoda Yeti, VW Tiguan and Nissan Qasqhi I decided on a Ford Kuga.
This morning I collected a Kuga Titanium 2.0TDI 160BHP AWD in Panther Black
First impressions are very good, ride is much better than the Altea (17" alloys & sports suspension) ever though it is on 19" wheels and corners very well with very little body roll. Engine is much smoother and quieter than the PD in the Altea. Interior is comfy and well screwed together with a quality feel to it although the seats aren't as snug as the sports seats in the Altea.

The black on the Kuga goes well with the Wife's new Smart. It's a Nightorange Ltd edition, Metallic Orange with black alloys and detailing and Nappa leather interior.
I'll be hanging around here though, you can't get rid of me that easily, of all the forums that I have been on this is by far the friendliest and most helpful, whatever the problem may be.

Did give me a excuse to go look round a Brewery & buy beer though.
