Ford Kuga or Volkswagen Tiguan?
I'm looking at a Ford Kuga 2.0-litre with four-wheel drive against a Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0-litre four-wheel drive, both 2008 and diesel. pros & cons? Worried about economy!

Hi Audrey,
Go for the Tiguan and go for four-wheel drive if you can find a good one within your budget. That first generation Kuga didn't age well at all (interior feels very cheap and nasty now) and the last time I drove a four-wheel drive version I struggled to get better than 35mpg out of it. By contrast a 4Motion Tiguan should easily crack the 40mpg barrier in everyday driving, has a lovely cabin and is crackingly good to drive.
