So it's goodbye from me...

I was an early adopter of the Evoque (Si4 Dynamic) in December 2011 and loved the 3 years and 30k miles I did in it and even the price I got for it was fine, though if I would have of course liked more. No rattles or real quality issues, it served me really well and I did wonder what I was doing as the WBAC salesman drove me to the station in Evesham after dropping the car off.

Most of all, it gave me a taste for LR products and the Evoque styling cues and on Sunday, I picked up its replacement, an RR Sport SVR in Estoril Blue...

It offers the same feelgood-factor we know and love from the Evoque served up with tremendous performance and road-holding.

In the meantime, LR have done a mid-life update of the Evoque which I think is well judged, a refresh with the much needed lightness of touch.

Enjoy your Evoques, I shall miss mine...

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

And it's not just buying it - fuel consumption is well below 20 mpg...

Nice one Mark, I was never one for the 'old' RRS looks, but I think they've done a great job. Think you've made a great choice.

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

Mark, a man of your calibre shouldn't worry about the fuel cost, just go out and enjoy it. Just remember most of us here would have loved to have been able to have bought one too, so enjoy it in the knowledge that you have a lot of us there with you!
