Thanks @Glos Guy. As I say, I really love the whole experience of my Focus and truly hope it transfers most or all of that to the Kuga.
I know you will know this but one thing that I hadn’t realised about the Kuga, is that it is the largest in all exterior dimensions compared to Q3, X1, XC40, Tiguan and Tucson (2020). I know the sloping rear window of the Kuga limits boot space capacity but I still found the fact surprising.
I can understand your own frustration and hopefully that elusive deal appears in the near future.
