Cheapest feeling quality on the Evoque

Well , i have pressed evey button & checked as much of the interior for quality

Until i opened the glove box, this feels do cheap & light weight

Feels more like a kia or such

Why does it not have soft opening or a weighty feel

This realy is not in keeping with rest of the interior feel

Anyone else noticed this !

There are already around a gazzilion threads about this. It has been narrowed down to: there are those-that-hate-the-glovebox-and-because-of-this-the-car and those-that-can-live-with-a-flimsy-glovebox-because-the-rest-of-the-car-is-gorgeous.

You may chose your camp. I'm in the second and we have cookies Wink

RE: Cheapest feeling quality on the Evoque

I have only opened the glove box about twice in 6 months, so does not really worry me, but do agree with the cheap feel.

RE: Cheapest feeling quality on the Evoque

Could make the difference of another tax band in the UK, makes a heavier glovebox door suddenly very expensive for an owner over the lifetime of the car........... At least it isn't made of papier mâché (yet) I suspect it is one of the bits made from recycled cola bottles!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

No, that's the rear wheel arches!Laughing (I'd call them 'wheel arch liners' except there isn't any wheel arch behind them!).

Indeed they are the wheel arches. As for the glove box lid, it's fine.
