Post: Evoque went today

Thread: Top Gear pulled for this week

I reckon its time to change the show; its the same old format being being re-hashed every week. Its so scripted as to be unnatural with the three performers just playing to the audience. The bonhommie... |

Thread: price for SD4 Auto 61 plate??

'We Buy Any Car' will give a good base price. That in conjunction with the dealer adverts should give a good basis for pricing. Don't forget the the dealer prices always have something in them for dow... |

I would also like a bit more space than we've got in the Evoque, initial thoughts and a 2 hour test drive confirmed that it would really suit us. Then the real bummer, a 10 or 11 month waiting list, s... |

Thread: 9 months of ownership - traded for a Mercedes
Post: RE: 9 months of ownership - traded for a Mercedes
I have to agree with FullFatTim with regard to Evoque quality over the RR and RRS. I will repeat what I have said before; the Evoque is a £30k car with in some cases loads of extras to take the price ... |

Just returned from a 2k trip around France, no issues at all with the tag. I've got it stuck to the windscreen in the hatched area very close to the rear-view miror. |

Thread: wrapped and new wheels :-)
Post: RE: wrapped and new wheels :-)
Matt paintwork really doesn't do anything for me, I'm also no fan of large diameter wheels; so my personal observation is that the original colour and wheels win hands-down. |

Thread: JLR Invests another £200 million at Halewood
Post: RE: JLR Invests another £200 million at Halewood
XFullFatTim,
You've hit the nail on the head, your Evoque is not a £53k car, it is a £31k car loaded with extras and as said before its quite a good £31k car but a Range Rover it isn't. |

Thread: JLR Invests another £200 million at Halewood
Post: RE: JLR Invests another £200 million at Halewood
I agree with some of the pricing, a specced-up Evoque at £50k plus seems ridiculous to me; but a sensibly specified Pure at around £34/35k doesn't seem bad value. |
