Hello All


I am to join this illustrious group of Kuga owners; verysoon.



2WD version; Titanium, Appearence pack, convenience pack and Scuff plates.



My problem/dilema!



Colour: Sea Grey, Avalonor Tango. I think? just want a change from Silver and Black( my usual choice)



Anyone got the Tango, Sea Grey or Avalonout there, I cant find one to look @, any pics on the web I could look @?



What do you think of my options, good mix?



Cheers



Terry

Hope the other owners don't mind me linking to their great photos, but here are your colours sir

Tango

Sea Grey

Avalon

I reckon you'll need to see the colours actually in the flesh to make a better decision - sunlight and dodgy PC monitors make a huge difference!

Thank you, Zetec


All very good, must admit the Sea Grey looks fantastic (the wifes colour choice!)



Thanks again.

I went for the Sea Grey and am totally chuffed with it.


Had a CMax in the same colour before and liked it on that, but for me the Kuga looks stunning in it - particularly with the silver roof rails, chrome window trim and the polished rims on the 18"s which all contrast nicely with the paintwork.



Decisions decisions...!!

Do the 18'simpact the drive in any way, better/worse/mpg?



Now then.....................



Will I get 50mpg, my commute is 100 miles round trip for work, 85 miles motorway

I got Sea Grey too - fantastic when clean - gets real dirty though!

The 18" wheels are excellent and the ride is supple - I can safely say that it is by far the most comfortable car I have owned (but then again, a Puma and a Focus RS aren't built for comfort!)

Mpg - I haven't hit 1000 miles yet so the engine's still a bit tight, and I'm only getting around 30mpg unfortunately (mostly town and a-roads).

I went for Avalon as it changes colour depending on the light which I like, although the car was an impulse buy as it was there but I would have chosen it after seeing it.

The 18" wheels are a must as they look great and I really like the drug dealer windows.

I just wish they did door step things for the real 4x4 look.

Tango

Oh my god: this is one **** of an ugly colour!!

I would go for the Sea Grey!

Eh, I think Tango is a great colour, looks great when its sunny, easy to spot in the car park as it doesn't blend in with every other car.

I had a grey 06 Mazda MX-5 before and wanted a more colourful car, so I chose Tango as it looked amazing in the showroom with the appearnce pack and tinted windows and 18" wheels and I just had to have it

Glad you like it, Stewart!
Just my opinion and happy that not everyone has the same taste; the world would then look a lot more boring

Hi Stewart,


I like all the colours in the Kuga range, I do think you have a point about finding the car in the car park, it's easy to spot a bright colour. My current car a new Fiesta is silver, but my absolute favourite is black. My Kuga, which is delivered at the end of Febuary is black and I can't wait.

Good luck with your Kuga I'm sure you will love it.

I don't know if the 18"s have any effect, as the demo I drove also had 18"s. But for looks you HAVE to go for them (if not the 19"s) However, as for mpg (see previous threads on this topic), I think you'll only ever get 50 mpg by going down 45 degree hills with a gale-force tail wind. The most I have had is 42mpg on a long run, but with general use (ie school runs, local shops etc) I get between 34 and 35mpg.



Hope this helps!!

Thanks for all your comments, I live in hope it seems for the magic 50mpg, 2WD tad better on the fuel it seems (Mr optimist!) I will let you all know.
Colour;down to Avalon & Sea Grey (then the wife chips in "Just seen a black Kuga;stunning!)

What do you think of my options, good mix? I was going to stick with the 17" wheels, you got me thinking now

Cheers
