Hi everyone, what a brilliant forum. I don't have a Kuga - yet - but want one badly. I have not seen one on the roads around here (Emsworth) but sat in one in the dealers on Hayling Island.
I have a bit of a problem with the size of my garage and wonder if a Kuga will fit in. It is mainly a question of width over door mirrors (those on my Focus have both come into contact with the door surround). Could anyone tell me if, when the mirrors are folded in, they are then within the overall width of the body? In other words, with the door mirrors folded, is the width dimension as shown in the brochure - ie 1842mm? It is so hard to tell. Looking at an end-on photo, it looks like the body bulges out below waist level - which ought ot give the width dimension and folded mirrors might - just - keep within this dimension. I really would not like to keep the Kuga out in the open. Before the Focus, I had a Mk 2 Mondeo, which was longer but about the same width as the Focus. Of course, getting it into the garage is one thing - then I have to open the door to get out ha ha.
Would be interested in any comments you might have.
