Ford Kuga 2008
Nice car, easy to drive, low repair and maintenance costs. Maybe only a diesel would not be suitable for the city, because sooner or later the problem with the soot filter will have to be solved, but removing it and rechipping the car did not change the power and driveability. But overall stable and comfortable, powerful. I bought the car 5y and with 200,000 original miles.

Pros: Nice car, easy to drive, low repair and maintenance costs. Maybe only a diesel would not be suitable for the city, because sooner or later the problem with the soot filter will have to be solved, but removing it and rechipping the car did not change the power and driveability. But overall stable and comfortable, powerful. I bought the car 5y and with 200,000 original miles.
Cons: Rear seated passengers have complaints about rear climate control, either very hot and airless, or cold.
