Hello all, we took a test drive in the Kuga last weekend and were very impressed. Athough we didn't have a chance to thrash it down the motorway (the salesman was sitting in the back!) we had a drive through the local village and on some rural roads. It holds well on mini-roundabouts - the wife clung onto the seat but was pleasantly suprised when it did not roll (unlike another car we test drove).
We are looking for a car to pull a small caravan, probably later this year or next year, which brings me onto my question. When will the 'reversing camera' option be readily available for the Kuga? Some literature says this option will be ready later this year, but I could not find any dates.
When I test drove mine I drove it Like Gronholm tests it in the video (well maybe not that bad) but I really did punish it and corner hard putting it through its paces I tested quite a few cars including new Mer C class estate, Subaru Forester, Freelander, Outlander, Rav 4. The Kuga blided the lot of them should get mine delivered October so cant wai
Having read that the Reversing Camera would be available in 2008 (according to the brochure),I asked Ford via email.
I've just had a reply from Ford Information Service that the Reversing Camera is "not yet available on the Ford Kuga, and unfortunately no date has been decided", and thus no price available.

It's really frustrating - I went to www.ford.no and the reversing camera is available on the Norwegian Kuga as an option. I was hoping that because the new brochure still makes a big deal about it, it would be available soon...
Hello Zetec, My Norwegian is not very good but I followed your link to the Ford.Norway pages and it looks like the camera is estimated in the august production? ..... (inkl parkeringskamera estimert fra august produksjon)

I see that the French Brochure lists the Reversing Camera (Camera de Recul) as an option at 440 Euro. So maybe it will be easier to get a French version first! LOL.
For what it's worth the Spanish Kuga e-brochure also lists the 'camera trasera' as an option for the two versions available here the Trend and Titanium, butwith the same note to say in the brochre that its available 'during 2008',like almost everywhere.
