Help please with options

Hi

I am ordering an evoque and trying to decide between a tech pack or upgrade on meridian, I can't afford both unfortunately.
I use my iPhone with tomtom and traffic generally which works well

Any advice welcome

Cheers

I have ordered both on my next Evoque but if I were in the position to afford only one then go for the Tech pack as you will allready have an audio system but you won't have Sat-Nav and all the other bits of the Tech Pack if you order the Meridian upgrade only.
Plus the Tech Pack makes a model derirative as in Pure Tech so will help the residual value!

So you you reckon the standard sound system is reasonable ? Does it have a sub ?

Thanks

Yes it has a sub but you will notice a difference in the 825W system. Both systems are good.

Tech Pack will be worth much more at resale than the Meridian upgrade. I would say that a car with the Meridian upgrade but no Sat-Nav is a tad geeky and will not appeal to a part-exchanging dealer.

The standard Meridian system is excellent, it has a sub-woofer and will play far louder than is good for your hearing.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Going for the Pure Tech is much better value in the long term, a Pure with an expensive audio upgrade is just a Pure in the eyes of any future buyer, not a Pure Tech

I think that's a Tech Pack Whitewash!

Yes go Tech Pack, Standard Meridian System is perfectly good.

Ah..... Thanks for all advice, but I am leasing through work so resale is not of interest to me... Would you still go for the tech pack ?
