No thanks. Another car with awful rear visibility. Looks like an Aston Martin top half sat on a Kuga chassis.

I think it looks great....

And who needs visibility with parking sensors! :rofl:

Are you Stevie Wonder?

Have you noticed how many cars with parking sensors have dinged bumpers? I find that rather amusing. When there are kiddies running around eyeball 101 is the best way to miss them - too many false beeps from sensors (such as when you reverse between two cars, or through a garage door frame).
 
I am not Stevie Wonder admittedly, and I've never had parking sensors before the Z4. However, having driven large 4x4's many times before, I find it difficult to believe that visibility could be any worse, parking relies almost entirely on sensors in tight spaces and I wouldn't take lack of rear visibility into account when buying a car, simply doesnt bother me... just my opinion of course... :)

Oh and btw I've not yet dinged a bumper while parking in 10 years of driving with or without sensors... :thumbsup:

I like it, so far...

At least Ford is attempting to make a cool looking vehicle.

X2 ... Ford really needs to break out of the styling morass it has been in these last few years, this is step in the right direction :thumbsup:
 
I think Ford definitely have it in them to make great looking cars... in Europe at least - new Fiesta for starters is a fantastic looking car, Mondeo is pretty handsome too and the Kuga looks great... they just need to keep it up, next Focus will be key I think :thumbsup:
 
Now, if Ford is really smart, they will start bringing some of those Euro models to the US. They had said NO to the hot little Focus, but then changed their minds. I can't wait. Might be the answer to the problem of only 2 seats when I need more and hubby is using the X5.

I like this one. Of course, I like the X6--but not the price!
 
Trouble with Ford is just that - they are Ford. I can only speak of the UK, but frankly I've owned them through my former company car years right up to their 4x4 efforts and they are a joke.

While the design is getting way better and reliability and quality a vast improvement, they still suffer from 2 things - Depreciation and dealers. When you take a Ford in you feel lucky just to get it back, even if they haven't worked on any of what was needed. My local Ford dealer sits in a condemed building selling parts out of a dingy shed. (Forgot I still own a Ka too and have to tolerate that dealers.)

No thank you
 
I have to say, the dealer I have used in the past (T-Bird, Probe GT, F150) is excellent. I bought the T-Bird and Probe new and drove the wheels off them (9 years and a trade-in on the T-Bird, 9 years and a drunk smashing it for the Probe, still have the F150). Never any trouble-standard wear and tear.

From the horror stories here, no thank you. :evil:
 
i just dont get these urban 4x4 style cars, either do it properly with a land/range rover or buy an estate if you need more room. but of course they sell well but id take a mondeo over that thing that looks like a modern puma on stilts!
