RE: Evoque Speccing - Trax - 06-12-2011 04:02pm
So, our 2006 FFRR was getting a little tired, and we popped into the local dealers to look at one a few years newer, and was very interested in the supercharged.
The dealer had one in, but this was still a 2006 model, however with a lot less miles. Well, we decide to go on a test drive, and yippee, that supercharged engine is a bit of a peach. But alass, it was a bit too old, and there was no more recent ones, without going nearly new - and selling the house to buy one was not really an option.
Anyway, the wife likes RRS's, and I dont. We did look at a few, and whilst the wife was interested, I managed to pursuade her against it.
As you can guess, seems as I am here, we toodled over to look at the Evoque. I said we already like them, but didnt really want to go to the expense of new, considering what you can get for £40k with a few year old Vogue. However, off we pop for a test drive, and after a bit of a discussion, the wallet comes out.
As it is, they had a cancelled order, (this was a couple of weeks ago) so we could place an order, and have the car for a complete date of 16 December. Yippee (sorry to those who are waiting having ordered ages ago), but this did pursuade us to buy, as otherwise we would have waited for the right FFRR to be found.
So, sorry for the story, but ougoing is the FFRR, and incoming - hopefully before Christmas we have:
SD4 Automatic
Dynamic Coupe (We could not spec 5 door - however wanted Coupe anyway)
White (Did want black, but could not spec)
Black interior (Did think about pursuit, but as white then black is not too dark)
As the spec is fine on the dynamic, only extras we picked are:
Heated Steering Wheel, and
Dimming rear view mirror. (Did this as believe these are essential for a luxury car, and you get used to being spolit in the FFRR)
However we will have the dealer put tints on at a later date. I did call today to ask if we can change roof to black, as I think this looks great - especially with rear tints, (and black wheels, when I have a spare few £K), but according to their system it is being built this week. However a post spray could be done, though will have to think about this.
Anyway, now looking forward to Christmas more than ever.

Prestige 5dr SD4 Manual (might change to Auto if I "find" another 2k...)
Fuji White
Spirit Interior
Style 6 Alloys
Adaptive Dynamics
Privacy Glass
Front parking sensors
Rear View Camera
Ordered on 19 Jan. Should arrive in June.
Still not sure about the camera and front sensors though... Seems to me that with the dipping mirrors and the standard rear sensors I should be fine. On my current car I don't have sensors at all and rear view isn't great either (Vectra GTS). Also, I tend to be careful and I'm rather confident that I will not hit another car while reverse parking. I think the bigger danger is other people hitting my car and 1000 cameras won't prevent that...

Visibility out back isn't great...then again with your spec, must be closing in on prestige price( as metallic paint is standard on that)....oh the decisions

Considered the prestige and dynamic, but felt that building the car spec I wanted from the base up would give me the specific choice I wanted, whilst also keeping the wallet in check.
There are a couple of luxuries in the spec I could do without - the meridian 850 is just awesome, but the std system is more than adequate. I was happy with the syle 5s, but 6s just add that bit of extra presence.
The recent changes to the spec were the addition of the black contrast roof and the addition of the signature xenons. Most people who specced up a Pure a few months ago were not able to choose this. If guys out there have a build on order, it is possible to now have these included in your spec - but you have to go ask the dealer to make the switch! Final change to spec was the removal of privacy glass - purely because I've got two small kids, and when we go to the grandparents they like to communicate with them from the back seat!
Gotta say that I'm going to miss the freelander though - it's been a great car!

Attribute, out of interest why did you chose to go for an Evoque rather than another Freelander2?
