"Emolient".... Mark's 'word you won't hear in any other road test' of the week... As usual, watch his reviews and you'll know more about a car than reading/watching a dozen others. Top job.
You know you're watching a top reviewer when every 20 secs you wanna write a comment cos of something they've said. Welll done.
One of your best reviews yet really enjoyed it keep it up superb!👍😂
Thank you for giving me an English lesson in together with a 5 star car review :) good WORK!
Hello Mark, I really like watching your reviews.
I’m considering the st line with 190bhp and auto plus the enhanced pack.
It comes with 4x4 too.
What’s your opinion on that version please?
I've got a Kuga 68 plate 1.5 petrol ST line and I really like it. I think it's a great looking car and drives well and it feels really comfy. I've ordered and New ST line X 1.5 diesel. Was worried it might be a bit sluggish but this review has made me feel happy about my choice. Cheers
Honestly yours are 100% the only car reviews I actually look forward to, sound job as per 👍
That "tunning" button is VERY helpful if you listen to the radio frequently. Now, you might laugh but kuga gives the option of cd player!! Since i have a big collection these oldschool feature mean a lot to me!
Are you sure Ford give customers the option of a CD player in the current Kuga? Never ever seen
it specified in options not matter where i look online and dealers have always said there isn't an option by Ford. Something I would have welcomed as I have a massive CD collection too, and it was an option that was made available to Focus customers when the current model originally hit the showrooms
Just found your channel, great reviews, entertaining and informative.
I’ve recently test drive a phev st line and it’s fantastic, and exactly how you describe it.
I had it for the weekend, it’s quick (the extra battery boost in sport mode really hits surprisingly hard), amazingly smooth and incredibly frugal. Don’t be put off by the CVT gearbox, it was my first time using one and I got in with it very well.
Looking forward to watching a few more of your reviews 👍
Thanks Mike, appreciate you saying so. Mark. :-D
Thank you I've ordered the 190 Ecoblue TDCI AUTO AWD ST LINE X. as my next motability car I have Rheumatoidarthritis I'm a Professional Driver by trade. I have a wife and a 10 year old Daughter live on the outskirts of Lincoln I like a car with umph as my current car is an 2018 Mondeo 2.0 Titanium 180ps TDCI Manual Estate. The Kuga is the only car that tick all the boxes for me for practical and fun reasons .. my joints may be cream cracked but my sence of fun still going
I have Ford Kuga ST Line 1.5 Diesel and it is a fantastic car, cheap to run and well spec, a massive improvement over the previous model
Just ordered a Kuga , 1.5 Diesel Auto , just feels GOOD to drive and be inside of , Lovely car to own , ST-Line X is the best bang for buck with all the extra's inc
Great video review, the New Ford kuga is a great car
I m pretty sure there will be the same comments, but still during video there was good parts and questionable parts (sound), seems that sometimes you have used heavy carpet which helped a lot with echo. Cheap foam from "internet" might help, if placed on higher side of wall if ceiling is high. Also video quality, especially your part seems to be improved, but if you would use a phone 10 years old to record, i would still watch it and share it. You need to be seen by more people and i hope you will get that soon! Thanks and keep on going! 🤙🍿
Hello Mark, thank you for great review. Can you eventually review Ford Kuga FHEV (ST-Line X we have in Germany is AWD FHEV Hybrid) ? Maybe a mix windy roads and some top speed highway drives. If your opinion after such drive test stays positive i am buying the car.
I’m a motability customer (5 spinal ops that have left me worse , horrendous pain/numbness the lot in left leg & minus 3bottom discs. Not to mention SI joints pressing on nerves & my fusions extend from sacrum to half way up my back!) I have the same prob as the ‘princess & the pea’ I struggle to find comfort in a seat/bed . My current Kuga STline AWD (live in N Scotland) has been great & extremely comfortable, I do low mileage so was advised to keep it 5 years this time. So with time to change naturally I wanted to go for the same especially as the dealer is 5 miles away from my village. The scheme has only put the hybrids on - & the advance payments have gone up a lot! I was able to test drive the ST line phev which I was going to order before Xmas but every time I went into dealership the motability person wasn’t available but i did eventually get the manager & I said what I was going for & usually you need the second driver with you so I said I’ll have to bring my husband in but he was working all the time then my mother fell ill with her back/leg - I’m not able to deal but my father died a few years ago so no option. I had to deal with docs over phone complete nightmare - they didn’t know what it was, she couldn’t walk so I had to give my walker which I hate anyway & it was basically a nightmare, ended up going private to find out & it was a disc pressing on nerves so basically the blind leading the blind! I apologise for essay but it was suddenly NY Eve & I realised on 1 jan prices likely to increase & yes they did. Now I’ve dealt with this dealership for over 20 years & youdve thought some1 might’ve called prior since I’d said what I was ordering- but no! When I went in when they opened the manager said there’s nothing I can do & btw you didn’t need your husband you can do it from home & scan everything 😡😡😡😡 as you can imagine!! (My mother is much better btw - the disc moved off nerve as per MRI - private again- NHS would’ve taken over a year to see a specialist🙄🙄🙄. Ok essay finishing- can anyone give advice if you’re still with me on the 2,5 duratec STline X - I need the heated seats! I will have to go for the fhev as the phev as gone up so much🙄🙄🙄. I found the seat firmer than my current ST line & there’s no paddles to go into manual for snow, which we get. There’s different modes ie snow slippery eco sport etc @ an L button on the auto dial which slows the car down - prob a bit like the 1 &2 features on old kugas. I noticed the European model had a manual button & paddles- idk why we don’t 🤷♀️- so basically help a damsel in distress pls 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 TIA🥰🥰
I've just ordered a FHEV ST Line X .
Where are you from by the way ?
I'm a Consett lad myself .
Yes, I did read all the Safety Features!
Pleased to see a positive review of the Kuga for once, shame you didn't get the plug in.
Great video and humour as usual Mark.
So, Kuga ST Line X PHEV or a BMW X1 M Sport PHEV? Company car hence a plug in.
So did you win the bet? You know the one about getting "rim-" into a car review? Well done bonny lad ;-)>
It's crazy to me that Ford still doesn't sell the Puma here in the USA. If you want an SUV smaller than the Escape/Kuga they have only been offering the crummy Ecosport. Though at least now they offer the Bronco Sport.
The best review ever.But you didn't mention the ecoboost petrol engine that are having a lot of problems and Ford not sorting them out
It's a pumped up Focus. It'd be much more exciting if it was a bigger Puma. Great review as always my midlifecrisissufferinggringo!
i order the plug in hybrid coming on decemeber im exited! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The dash on the new fiesta, focus, puma and kuga looks like a 1992 escorts with a ipad glued to it, I prefer the button fest of my 2012 fiesta. It has 2 buttons for almost every function on the radio. Milf Island 30 rock! 👩🦳🏝️😂
A car review where you'll get Rick Roll'd. Never expected that.
Mint !
10:17 duuuude
His majesty? Do you know something we don’t?😂
Does the ST line come with heated seats??
Have you been reading Viz magazine ?
Geordie Bible like
Yes, I did read all that.
Good going. 👏
First!!!!! Gan on hinny!
How did Ford go from having pretty mediocre crossovers to really rather good ones in a couple of years? It's quite baffling. Good job.
Is it just my imagination, or has the sound of some bits of the videos released in the last few weeks been a bit echoey?
It’s not, we’re working on it. High ceilings in the new office. ✊🏻
@@marknichol8167 ahhhhh ok - makes sense 👍🏻
The Kuga is an excellent car, as is the Focus on which it is based. Ford has some great cars in its range, there is something for everyone. Move over VW.
All these toys are there because its just come on the market and they want to attract customers,
for next years updated model you may well find some of them have found their way to the options list
because it's been given more power or some such '' update''. But then I'm a very cynical person.
For one the phone charging pad is now a £150 extra
Kuga ST anyone? I’ve never understood why they didn’t do it
They should.
Ford do great drivetrains/gearboxes /great to drive however quality is down on its rivals especially interior design all very bland for me, I agree with mark about the looks too the size of the windows seem odd too big and for the diesel engine doing 3000rpm at 70 in 6th gear that's not good my previous c-max 1.5 diesel would be doing just over 2000rpm.
3008 please!
national symbol for Subscribe , hahaha
The 1.5 petrol is 4-cylinder, not 3.
The 1.5 petrol is an excellent 3 cylinder , I drive one.
Do you have any problems with it,like the fiesta owners complaining about the wet belt ?@@albertwastiaux2705
Are you actually reading this thing?
Yes, but I'm not envious
"Right Mark - here's a typical Ford - nothing amazing but (here's the caveat) make the vlog last 20mins"
Mark's heart drops to his boots (again) but somehow manages it (again)
Well done ... still not going to buy one though LOL
I've got a top of the range 2012 kuga with all the extras. It's in mint condition and looks brand new! My advice? Remap the fucker! What a bloody difference 😉✌️
Hahahaha fantastic rim job......
10.17. At least warn us.
Why were there so many bumhole references?
Satisfactory hole.
Rim job.
U2.
You trying to tell us something?
I’ll be honest mate, U2 was more of a knob gag. 😁 (Just kidding.)
@@marknichol8167 I will admit I proper belly laughed at seeing the tumble off the stage.
hahahaha! U2. :)
I'm driving the 21 plate kuga st line has a hire car all I an say is UTTER GARBAGE its awful in everyday be glad when I get my seat taraco back
This car could come with gold plated interior, do 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds but would still depreciate 62% in 5 years. It's a Ford, it's naff, sorry the badge is why it needs loads of kit. I applaud the engineers at ford and their parts suppliers who produce parts to fail exactly at the end of the warranty period. good job Guys.
You've pretty much described exactly what happens to most VWs to be fair.
@@Zerofightervi The difference is I can sell my VW on as it is perceived to be better quality.
@@tomquimby8669 I'm so glad you said "perceived" because VWs are utterly rubbish underneath on the bits that matter.
Excellent. I buy them second hand. Last two VW's were an endless stream of bills and issues, and of course were over priced. My cheaper Galaxy did 4 years, took it from 65k to 160k, loaded with kids, bikes, canoes all around Highlands, down to Southern France. Nothing other than routine servicing / wear parts, one broken coil spring and one occasional sticky door lock.
It’s like you didn’t watch the review at all...you’ve revealed your inherent bias against Ford when you said you were a VW driver.
The reality is, European Fords tend to outlast VWs in the main - particularly the engines with their lack of plastic water pumps, etc... The interiors come down to spec and design, and VW tend to do a better job with that (though this is fading fast - Golf 8s cheapo interior reveals that they can no longer afford such a luxe material quality on a mainstream car), but the same company makes their interiors - the French company, Faurecia, so the actual quality is much the same!
