Post: My review after 9 days and 1000 miles

Not sure if this has been asked before but, for those with stop/start working, is the engine supposed to randomly fire back into life after being stationary for too long? I was sat at a level crossin...

Post: RE: Seat Size

  Thread: Seat Size
Post: RE: Seat Size

Its the inner bolsters that cut inwards towards the rear of the seat that are the problem. I am 6ft 4 and 13 stone. So taller than most, but with slim build. I've had my Evoque 3 days and this is...

Post: RE: How many Evoques do you see a day ?

Saw at least 10 today driving 200 miles. But never any in my Mauritius Blue. So imagine my disgust when I found out someone else at work also has a blue one :)

Most exec cars come with a dual button for this. Then again, most exec cars have an auto dimming rear mirror as standard too :)

I see at least one transporter a day on the M6 heading south on my drive to work. Off to china no doubt.

Post: RE: MPG... What's the problem?

Picked my SD4 up yesterday. 90 miles so far and averaged 38.5mpg on the way home from work today. That's pretty good I think for a new engine.

If the cost of low emissions and "fake" good fuel economy at 55mph is poor real world mpg, that is a positive when considering a company car (with fuel card). I'm sure it's all just a game of numbers...
