ED4 Coupe v BMW 420D, A5 2.0TDi Coupe & Merc E220 Coupe

What Car? prefers any German to the ED4 .......... didn't need the mag to know they would come to that verdict they are so predictable with any BMW in any test. They mark the ED4 down for windnoise, distracting touch screen (??) and handling issues (they reckon it has poor front end grip). Strange they mark Evoque last as they claim that the A5 is tight in the back and a disappointing drive!

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.

I have driven a couple of 2.0d F30 bmw 3 series. Found them utterly underwhelming, dreadful engines - although the 330d has the most fantastic engine, it suffered from a little wind noise (not as much as Evoque) and terrible tyre noise

Mind you, I wouldn't have any of those four! Would not get an Evoque without 4wd personally, v unlikely ever to have another Audi and wouldn't have a 4-cyl merc or bmw

They do rate the Evoque's engine as very smooth
