Kuga, Qashqai, Sportage ????
Discussion
So due to my wifes health issues she is finding more and more difficult to get in and out of a regular car so in the market for a mid size SUV
This isnt a market i have ever had any interest in so looking for any guidance / tips etc.
From what i can see there seems to be 3 different sizes, small (Ecosport), mid (Kuga) and large (X5)
So looking at mid size ones, budget was 10k but found a nice looking Kuga at local Ford dealer, 2014 Titainium with 45k miles at £12000 so thats really my absolute max.
Whatever i end up buying needs to have a fairly big boot but with a lowish loading sill, we have 2 dogs, a St Bernard and a retriever (although the retriever is 15 years old so......maybe just 1 soon
)
Not many petrols available at this price point so diesel, dosent matter about man or auto, leather is a must as is lots of toys, 2012 onwards
Ive looked at (online) Qashqai, Kuga, Sportage, X3, Q3 etc and Kuga looks best for buck
Like the look of the new shape 3008 but not in budget. She refuses to drive my van so anything too big is a no no. Cant think of any more requirements so is the Kuga the best of a boring bunch ? Anything else to consider ?

This is the one that has caught my attention, although nobody has suggested a Kuga yet !!

We went through this middle of last year.
Our budget was only about £10k and we ended up with a Hyundai IX35. Seemed to offer the best value for money at that price at the time. Build quality seems good, drives ok and has lots of useful stuff like a big panoramic roof that actually opens (amazing how many don't), bluetooth, heated front and rear leather seats, nav, parking sensors (essential for the wife) etc.
