Thinking of buying a RANGE ROVER Evoque

1. It’s Land Rover, not landrover.
2. In this context it’s £40k from, not £40k off.
3. I’d probably use a semicolon to link the first and second sentences, but that’s just me.

1. Actually it’s a Tata.
2. Prefer “happy to take £40K off you” as it carries the subtle implication you are being fleeced.
3. That is just you.

Very expensive ! If you’ve that sort of money to spend have a look at the new Porsche Macan, I suspect it will cost you less to own over three years and will be much better made.

Project’s finest troll in ages. Good work, op.

TATA build them better than the shite that was previously called Range Rover mind.
Have you noticed how many AA trucks have Range Rovers on the back.
My old gaffer paid 75k for a Ranger Rover Vogue in 2002 new.
He hardly drove the bloody thing, braking down, suspension faults, electrical faults, every bloody fault.
The Indians at least seem to do it better. My OH’s Disco has been faultless and she does around 50,000 kilometers a year.
OH, Buy new,get a warranty, put it against your business if you have one, what’s not to lose?
Or you could get a panda 4×4 and spend the difference on prostitutes and cocaine.

Leaving the gym today and look what I saw, looks like an Evoque with a porche style badge with “RR” in the centre, with Revere branding all over it. Looked on the DAP cars site and Revere London site and these go for £79,000 😯 😯 😯

………

You liked so much you posted it twice.
I like that.
Overfinch do some crackers too.

Apart from an 18 month wait

My android loves a good double post 😆

PS I wonder if they have kids, or just parking the family bay due to their new “rights” after spending £79k 😆

OP, save a few more pennies and go for one of these.
Now that’s a nice car.

@iolo in fact that looks the same as what I seen at the gym, a new RR sport, albeit Revere VS overfinch aftermarket kits.

Which is basically a posher version of a Q5, so surely no better than an Evoque being a tarted up Freelander….

I don’t think Porsche are that well made given the engine issues that have plagued them since the original Boxster and the 996 onwards (IMS bearings, bore scoring etc). I don’t doubt that it’ll sell well…pretty sure that the 4×4’s will be the mainstay of the Porsche range in terms of numbers sold.

Virtually every street here in Vienna has at least 3 Cayennes parked.
Will someone correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t these Touaregs in a nice dress?

Apart from an 18 month wait

@engineer Is that right !! I saw my first one the other day, was ok not wow but you can’t expect much as its a 4×4 saloon.

@mindmap – yup when I first saw the Cayenne I wondered what Porsche where thinking but it’s been a hugely successful model for them, big money earner. I’ll put my hand up and say I’d take a Macan or more likely a 1+yr old face lifted Cayenne over any land / range rover all day long. Build quality and reliability are excellent. Anyway back in the real world it will probably be an old rav4 to put the bikes and other crap in.

@iolo same floorplan as Q7 / Toureg but so much more engineering in terms of drivetrain etc and of course body and interior

Is it bad that this thread made me look up used Porsche Cayenne Turbos? Casual browsing turned up a Turbo (ten years old with “a few” miles on it) for £8995 asking price.

And it’d do everything (except being cheap to run), even proper off roading if you chuck the right tyres on.

Plus it’s a petrol so you’re not damaging the children’s lungs with nasty diesel emissions.

@phil, it doesn’t make you a bad man, I’ve gone from hater (first models where ugly) to really liking the new model.

When they got released last December yes. Not sure what the current up to date wait. Going to check before I order my discovery

At risk of being lambasted….. I bought an Evoque (Pure, Tech, Coupe, SD4) two years ago and have been delighted with it. It’s comfortable (get the heated seats!), fuel efficient (yes, really!) and dead practical for bikes (I have a tow ball bike rack which is great). My only criticisms would be that the boot is a tad small, and the access to the back seat isn’t easy. If you like the looks, which I do, go for it.

@phil have a look at how much a set of tyres will cost you. A mate had one and got roughly 8000 miles out of a set….

@engineer, lot less interior space than a Disco, more Q3 than Q5 in that regard I would say. I wouldn’t say no though !

Blimey. How did he drive it ??? Should be good for 20,000+ driven normally

Shouldn’t that be parked in a disabled space?

I can’t imagine ever wanting to buy an Evoque. If I wanted a 4×4 I’d buy something like a Land Crusier because they don’t let you down, I’d never want a SUV because I’d buy something with space on the inside and the rest of the time I want something cheap and economical. I have no need or desire to try and pretend to people I don’t know that I’m living a lifestyle that they want to aspire to. It’s not envy, I’m just not interested in what other people’s aspirations are.
^this (or Defender 110, because they make me smile when I drive them)

If you like the looks, which I do, go for it.

😆

Some peope like these:

I had a Defender 110 as works truck for a bit. The noisiest thing I’ve ever had. You went over 50mph the panels would shake. Cassette player on a 2010 model. That was the only mod con. Bloody awful thing.

^but that is why I don’t have one. But if I needed one, say I owned a hill farm, then I would.

Range rovers of any sort are driven by ****.

Really good at sweeping generalisations, then.
A good friend of mine has a new RR Sport, replacing his previous model Sport. He’s someone I have a great deal of respect for, who travels to very dangerous parts of the world to help very disadvantaged people.
He’s many times the man you are.

OP, save a few more pennies and go for one of these.

good call , I’ve always liked the Ford Flex.

Mind factor in the extra cost of getting indicators fitted. As far as I can tell, Range Rover don’t seem to fit them as standard. 😉

OK, so not that practical..

if you want to put something in the back?
I was amazed when I saw then just how small they were and when you look at what the interior is like you can tell it’s designed to carry some nice shopping bags at most 😉

They are small in the back but no worse than the size vs boot space of a something like a Nissan Juke.

But the Juke is tiny ! The Evoke is a style over substance car, no issue with that but you have to accept it for what it is.

OP, as everyone hates the evoque get a Hummer. They’re cool.

If your buying new vw toureg

Just get a Cayman. Hunter S Thompson likes ’em.

That Cayman video is bloody awful. The most annoying voice ever.

Going for a test drive of one next week,hopefully the above comments want cloud my mind with negativity, and obvious jealousy of the lower clases

We were all looking forward to the road test report.

Did it fit into the disabled spaces?

The Evoque would, but the X6 in Denny high school today could only manage diagonally across two spaces. 😕

Just two? I assume they were the spaces for the school buses. 😛

Range rover evoque………I would rather guide my dad into my mum !

Think project has his eye on one of these instead……
