Evoque

I'm sure this has been talked about before, but...

What do people think of them?

the same as before

James May tested it on trivial off road conditions and it didn't take much for it to reach its limits. Looks nice but if I wanted something to look the business in, I'd buy the new BMW 3 series when it comes out next year.

I was taking that seriously until you mentioned the "BMW 3 Series" bit

I think anyone who buys one of these over the cheaper, but almost mechanically identical Freelander, must be even dafter and gayer than the people who bought the actual Freelander. the only good thing about them is that hairdressers and footballers wives will buy them by the 1000's. So it means Land Rover have more money to spend developing their proper 4x4's.

we took one for a test drive at the landrover experiance and i really liked it, was very impressed with it off road on the road tyres as it went everywhere the defender and discovery went.

but if i had £40,000 i would probably buy something else like a new defender.

The car park doesn't count as off road.

int'resting stuff. Any more opinions?

I was lucky enought to have a test ride in the one of the 1st 300 prototypes and my only gripe, really was that the electric seats where slowlest thing i have ever seen i could have died and my body turned to dust by the time you could havemoved them foward to let some one in the back, was only a 3 door model.

But apart from that was a nice enough car, I wont be buying one way out of my price range.

I have driven and worked on all 3 of the Evoque levels(dynamic,pure ect) and must say they are a class of there own.
Build quality is good.
Gadgets and systems are a joy(split media screen,park assist)
Driving the car makes you smile constantly.
Only gripp is the size of the door mirrors.
Land rover have to move with consumer demand and with the compertition and this car is and will continue to be a winner.I won't complain as it pays my mortgage.
I work on all Land rover models and a great lover of the 90 and P38 but can only afford a Freelander

door mirrors, apparently, are the size they are 'cos its seen as a van in some markets...
