I have seen the Kuga at the Ford showroom but haven't really looked at it closely or test drive it. For those who own or have test driven the Kuga and Focus Titanium sedan, any thoughts which vehicle is more comfortable? Comfortable in the sense that the driver who is driving the car feels more at home in the cockpit, and the occupants at the back have more space and legroom.

Several questions as follows:-

1) Is the rear legroom for occupants sitting at the back seat of the Kuga better than the cramped space of the Focus Titanium? Is there more space at the back seat of the Kuga in comparison to the Focus Titanium?

2) Is the quality of leather seat in the Kuga similar to that in the Focus Titanium? Same hardness?

3) How is the suspension of the Kuga vs. the Focus Titanium? The suspension of the Focus Titanium although precise and light sounds quite loud. When going over bad uneven roads or bumps the suspension transmits the noise or loud thud into the cabin. What about the Kuga?

4) How is the NVH of the Kuga vs the Focus Titanium? Is the Kuga free from wind noise up to about 140km/h?

Lastly, any thoughts if the Kuga is a notable upgrade over the Focus in areas of drivability(more power in the 1.6 Ecoboost) and comfort?

Any information would be appreciated.

one thing for sure the rear legroom is way better than a titanium sedan.

Thanks for the response. It is unfortunate the rear legroom of the Focus Titanium sedan is a bit cramped. If it was larger I wager reception towards the vehicle would be even greater.
